In order to check the relationship between ground-based electromagnetic anomaly and ionospheric effect before the famous Wenchuan MS 8.0 earthquake, three physical models have been established to simulate the communication process of electromagnetic energy from the Wenchuan hypocenter to the Earth’s surface, via the atmosphere to the ionosphere to cause ionospheric variations.

The temporal convolutional network (TCN) approach in deep learning is used to predict the daily value of F10.7. The prediction results for 1–3 d ahead during solar cycle 24 have a high correlation coefficient (R) of 0.98 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of only 5.04–5.18 sfu.

The geomagnetic and solar effect on Es is studied. The negative correlation between Es and geomagnetic activity at mid-latitude is related to the decreased meteor rate during storm period. The increased Es occurrence in high latitude relates to the changing electric field. The positive correlation between Es and solar activity at high latitude is due to the enhanced IMF in solar maximum. The negative correlation in mid and low latitudes relates to the decreased meteor rate during solar activity.

Far-ultraviolet (FUV) airglow radiation is particularly well suited for space-based remote sensing. The Ionospheric Photometer (IPM) instrument carried aboard the Feng Yun 3-D satellite measures the spectral radiance of the Earth FUV airglow. IPM is a tiny, highly sensitive, and robust remote sensing instrument. Initial results demonstrate that the performance of IPM meets the designed requirement and therefore can be used to study the thermosphere and ionosphere in the future.

We used multipoint magnetic field, electric field, plasma, and energetic particle observations to study the spatial, temporal, and spectral characteristics of compressional Pc5 pulsations observed deep within the magnetosphere at the end of a strong magnetic storm. We investigated the mode of the waves and their nodal structure. The energetic particles responded directly to the compressional Pc5 pulsations. We interpret the compressional Pc5 waves in terms of drift-mirror instability.

We use satellite data to analyze precursory anomalies of the western China Ms 7.1 Yushu earthquake by analyzing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and using the full-wave model to illustrate a possible mechanism for how the anomalies occurred. The results show that very low-frequency (VLF) radio wave SNR in the ionosphere decreased before the Yushu earthquake. The full-wave simulation results confirm that electron density variation in the lower ionosphere will affect VLF radio signal SNR.

Underground nuclear explosion (UNE) can produce ionospheric disturbances through a lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling mechanism, which is very similar with earthquakes. By using the total electron content observations and Swarm ionospheric current data, we have investigated the geomagnetic conjugate ionospheric disturbances. We proposed that the electric field generated during the UNE test can be an important mechanism for ionospheric disturbance.

We employ multipoint observations of the Van Allen Probes, THEMIS, GOES and Cluster to present case and statistical studies of the electromagnetic field, plasma and particle response to interplanetary (IP) shocks observed by Wind. We perform a statistical study of Ey variations of the electric field and associated plasma drift flow velocities for 60 magnetospheric events during the passage of interplanetary shocks.

In this paper we describe a novel way to approximate the decomposition of magnetospheric ultra low-frequency (ULF) wave power in key azimuthal wavenumbers m, which is a parameter describing the number of azimuthal wavelengths that fit within a particle drift orbit. This is a critical parameter that is required in estimates of the rates of radial diffusion, and we show for the first time that there is a local time and geomagnetic activity dependence in the distribution of power in wavenumbers m.

Short summary
ULF waves can be generated by modulated HF heating in the ionospheric F region, which has long been considered for secure communication with submarines. In this paper we study the effects of background parameters on the process of ULF wave generation and propagation by using a numerical simulation. We find that wave radiation efficiency is higher in the daytime ionosphere at lower latitudes, while ground wave intensity is larger in the nighttime ionosphere with lower modulation frequency.

We studied localized Pc 4 pulsations in the pre-midnight inner magnetosphere observed by Van Allen Probe B on May 1 2013. Although we attribute the pulsations to a drift-bounce resonance, we demonstrate that the energy-dependent response of the ion fluxes result from pulsation-associated velocities sweeping energy-dependent radial ion flux gradients back and forth past the spacecraft.

Wuhan atmosphere radio exploration (WARE) radar is the first Mesosphere- -Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) radar that becomes operative in the mainland of China and is dedicated to real-time atmospheric observations. We present the main configurations and initial results in this paper.The results can be very significant for analyzing the atmospheric characteristics in mid-latitude China and contributing to the worldwide MST community.

Short summary
We used 14 satellites(GOES, POES, THEMIS, RBSP, FENGYUN, REPTile) measurement to investigate the loss mechanisms of a electron dropout event during a intense solar wind dynamic pressure pulse. The observations demonstrated that magnetopause shadowing and atmospheric loss both play important roles in electron flux dropout. Moreover, substrom injections and convection strongly enhanced the energetic electron fluxes, which may delay other than avoid the occurrence of electron flux dropout.
