Energetic electron precipitation during sawtooth injections
We present simultaneous riometer observations of cosmic noise absorption in the nightside and dawn-noon sectors during sawtooth particle injections during 18 April 2002. Energetic electron precipitation (>30 keV) is a feature of magnetospheric substorms and cosmic radio noise absorption acts as a proxy for qualitatively measuring this precipitation. This event provides an opportunity to compare...
متن کاملGeomagnetic Reversals: Rates, Timescales, Preferred Paths, Statistical Models and Simulations
Paleomagnetic data on geomagnetic reversals are divided into two general categories: times of occurrence, and records of directional and/or intensity changes for transitions at individual locations. Despite considerable efforts expended in acquiring paleomagnetic reversal records, a detailed picture of the reversal process is still lacking, along with any means of clearly identifying when the m...
متن کاملAcceleration and loss of relativistic electrons during small geomagnetic storms
Past studies of radiation belt relativistic electrons have favored active storm time periods, while the effects of small geomagnetic storms (Dst > -50 nT) have not been statistically characterized. In this timely study, given the current weak solar cycle, we identify 342 small storms from 1989 through 2000 and quantify the corresponding change in relativistic electron flux at geosynchronous orb...
متن کاملDisturbances of the Low Latitude Ionosphere During Extremes of Geomagnetic Activity
Various observational tools are available for the study of F-layer irregularities in the equatorial region. These include optical observations of the depletion of electron density, GPS phase fluctuations, DMSP in situ observations of ion depletions, radar observations of coherent scatter from equatorial irregularities, and ionospheric soundings. Each makes contributions to observational studies...
متن کاملGeomagnetic activity and wind velocity during the Maunder minimum
Following a given classi®cation of geomagnetic activity, we obtained aa index values for the Maunder minimum (1645±1715). It is found that the recurrent and ̄uctuating activities were not appreciable and that the shock activity levels were very low. The aa index level was due almost entirely to the quiet days. Calculated average solar-wind velocities were 194.3 km s from 1657 to 1700 and 218.7 ...
