Long‐Term Increase in Equatorial Rayleigh‐Taylor Instability: Synergistic Effects of Greenhouse Gas Cooling and Geomagnetic Field Secular Variation

Abstract Equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) are ionospheric irregularities generated by Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) that disrupt satellite communications. We quantify secular change of RTI growth rates and isolate underlying drivers using WACCM‐X simulations. Results reveal a...
