GEOMAGNETIC STORMS ARE
HEATING THE ATMOSPHERE:
A series of strong geomagnetic
storms in 2023 has pumped
terawatts of thermal energy into
Earth's upper atmosphere,
creating sharp increases in
satellite drag. According to
NASA's Thermosphere Climate
Index (TCI), the temperature of
the thermosphere is near a 20
year high. Full story @ Spaceweather.com.
