High-latitude currents are linked to dynamic processes in geospace and play a critical role in our ability to monitor and predict space weather. The recent launch of NASA’s new EZIE (Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer) mission marks the beginning of an exciting new era in the study of Earth’s auroral and equatorial ionospheric electrojets. We invite papers that explore various aspects of ionospheric currents and high-latitude dynamics, such as auroral electrojets, substorm current wedges, reconnection, and field-aligned currents. Contributions based on space-based or ground-based observations, as well as modeling and theoretical studies, are welcome. In preparation for the upcoming International Polar Year (IPY) 2032–2033, we also encourage papers that discuss the current status, challenges, and future outlook of observational and modeling efforts related to ionospheric dynamics in support of the EZIE mission.
