Equatorial spread F (ESF) occurs globally at low magnetic latitudes in the Earth’s nighttime ionosphere. ESF is well-known for its adverse effect on the propagation of radio waves affecting navigation, telecommunication, and scientific satellite systems. Due to scarce observations, the ESF’s electrodynamics has mainly been addressed theoretically.
Rodríguez-Zuluaga et al. (2022) use satellite measurements and numerical simulations to report on ESF-related electromagnetic energy. The authors address the ESF energy’s magnitude and its relation with plasma density and the local time of the ESF occurrence. They also report on the location of the energy generator and its association with neutral winds.
After eight years of dedicated work on Earth, Planets and Space, Prof. Yasuo Ogawa will hand over editorship of the journal to Prof Takeshi Sagiya. They spoke to us about the challenges in their research fields, the benefits of OA, and the journal's future plans.

Caudron et al. (2021) explores the seismic data associated with unrest and eruptions which occurred at Whakaari/White Island volcano in New Zealand for the last ~15 years. Using novel proxies taking advantage of continuous seismic records complemented by more traditional parameters (e.g., earthquakes, deformation), they gain insight into volcano-hydrothermal systems dynamics. Caudron et al. identifies various periods of unrest, shed light on the processes triggering them and overall appears promising for future real-time monitoring efforts.
