Survey of ionospheric Pc3-5 ULF wave signatures in SuperDARN high time resolution data.

Ionospheric signatures of ultra-low frequency (ULF) wave in the Pc3-5 band (1.7-40.0 mHz) were surveyed using ~6 s resolution data from Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) radars in the northern hemisphere from 2010 to 2016.

Charged dust phenomena in the near-Earth space environment.

Dusty (or complex) plasmas in the Earth's middle and upper atmosphere ultimately result in exotic phenomena that are currently forefront research issues in the space science community. This paper presents some of the basic criteria and fundamental physical processes associated with the creation, evolution and dynamics of dusty plasmas in the near-Earth space environment. Recent remote sensing techniques to probe naturally created dusty plasma regions are also discussed.

Multiscale coherent structures and broadband waves due to parallel inhomogeneous flows.

Linear theory analysis and particle-in-cell simulations show that a spatial transverse gradient in the ion drift parallel to the magnetic field, dV(di)/dx>Omega(i). Nonlinearly, these waves lead to multiscale spatially coherent structures, substantial cross-field transport, ion energization, and phase-space diffusion. Large spikes are formed in the parallel electric field time series.
