Satellite Shows Earth's Magnetic Field Bent During a Solar Storm

Solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field features before magnetic storm onset

The presented results, concerning the features of the solar wind plasma structure as observed by spacecraft upstream of Earth, could be used for development of middle-term forecasts of magnetic storms. We have analyzed 1-hour data for 1995-2005 and a whole year of 1-min data during solar minimum (1995) and during solar maximum (2000) with 48 and 60 storms, respectively. The long-term statistica...

Reconstruction of Solar Coronal Linear Force-Free Magnetic Field

April 2000 magnetic storm: Solar wind driver and magnetospheric response

[1] On 4 April 2000, a coronal mass ejection (CME) took place close to the western limb of the Sun. The shock front of the CME hit the Earth’s magnetosphere on 6 April. A strong interplanetary southward BZ event in the sheath region caused a magnetic storm that was the second strongest in the year 2000 if quantified by the peak of the Dst index. We have analyzed this sequence of events using ob...

curie depth, geothermal exploration, iran, kerman, satellite magnetic field model.

in this paper an indirect method is presented to detect potential geothermal sites in kerman province, southeast iran. geothermal heat flux is one of the main parameters to be investigated in geothermal exploration programs. however, few direct heat flux measurements are available for iran. given the proved relation between curie depths and heat flux, magnetic data can be used to calculate the ...
