James M. Weygand
Space Physicist, Department of Earth, Planetary, & Space Science, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
Dr. James Weygand is a space physicist with the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research has focused on solar wind turbulence, magnetospheric sub storms, interhemispheric asymmetries, and auroral phenomena. More recently, he has examined the effects of space weather on the Earth’s ionosphere and the surface. Dr. Weygand produces two-dimensional maps of the ionospheric currents over North America and Greenland using over 150 ground-based magnetometers. These maps are significant for space weather research, including ground induced currents and ionospheric scintillations.
