A comprehensive model of the Earth ionosphere has been developed [Sydorenko and Rankin, 2012 and 2013]. The model is two-dimensional, it resolves the meridional direction and the direction along the geomagnetic field. The dipole coordinates are used, the azimuthal symmetry is assumed. The model considers torsional Alfven waves and includes the meridional convection electric field. The electric...

Dark regions seen in extreme ultraviolet and X-ray images of the solar corona, called coronal holes (COHO), are known to be sources of fast solar wind streams. These streams often impact the Earth’s magnetosphere and produce geomagnetic storms to which Canada is susceptible. COHO are associated with open coronal magnetic field lines along which fast solar wind streams emanate from the Sun....

Water scarcity is an acute global concern under population and economic growth, and understanding hydroclimatic variation is becoming commensurately more important for resource management. Climatic drivers of water availability vary complexly on many time- and space-scales, but serendipitously, the climate system tends to self-organize into coherent dynamical modes. Two of these are El...
