Climatology of the equatorial plasma bubbles captured by FORMOSAT‐3/COSMIC
The FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC (F3/C) satellites are used to study the climatology of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) during the low to moderate solar flux years (2008-2013). We use the...- publication PDF

Why doesn't the ring current injection rate saturate?
For low values of the solar wind electric field, the response of the polar cap potential is essentially linear, but at high values of VBs, the polar cap potential saturates and...- publication PDF
