Dichotomy in Geomagnetic Disturbance and Its Solar Origin

ISBN:
Category : Correlation (Statistics)

Pages : 22
Book Description
The sun has a dominant influence on the terrestrial environment, an environment which affects many phases of direct military interests such as the upper atmosphere, communications, satellite operations, weather, etc. The results obtained add to the interpretation of the solar terrestrial relationships that may add to their predictability. Superposed epoch studies of the daily sunspot numbers (Rz) show a different behavior when selected for daily sums of geomagnetic activity (SKp) of 45 up to 56 than for higher or lower values of SKp. (Author Modified Abstract).

Conditional Probabilities of the Geomagnetic Index Ap

Category : Geomagnetism

Pages : 28
Book Description
Data of the geomagnetic index A sub p from 1932 to 1973 were used to determine the conditional probabilities for the occurrence of certain values of that index. The range of values was divided into three categories that approximately correspond to quiet, moderate, and disturbed levels of geomagnetic activity. Conditions applied were the category level of activity on the initial and subsequent day and the portion of the solar sunspot cycle. Conditional probabilities were determined for 100 successive days after the initial day, both for the quiet and active portions of the sunspot cycle. (Author).

The Northern Light
Author: A. BrekkePublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642691064
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
In Nordic literature a remarkable discussion of the northern light appears in Kongespeilet (The King's Mirror) a thirteenth-century Norwegian chronicle. It is described in vivid detail as the following translated excerpts demonstrate: These northern lights have this peculiar nature, that the darker the night is, the brighter they seem, and they always appear at night but never by day, most frequently in the densest darkness and rarely by moonlight. In appearance they resemble a vast flame of fire viewed from a great distance. It also looks as if sharp points were shot from this flame up into the sky; these are of uneven height and in constant motion, now one, now another darting highest; and the light appears to blaze like a living flame. Three different theories for the origin of the northern light were suggested in this book. Numerous naturally occurring heavenly phenomena have been observed and enjoyed as long as the Earth has been inhabited, but hardly any of them has stirred man's imagination, curiosity and fear as much as the northern light. The northern light is certainly one of the most spectacular of nature's phenomena.
Extreme Space Weather

ISBN: 0128225378
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Extreme Space Weather not only allows readers to learn the basics of complex space weather phenomena and future directions for research in space physics and extreme space events. The book begins with a brief overview of space weather, including sunspot cycles, solar winds and geomagnetic fields. From there, the book moves on to extreme space weather phenomena, including mass coronal ejections, solar flares and magnetic storms. The book also includes a discussion of both observed and theoretical extreme events. This book is ideal for students and researchers in geophysics and space physics departments, as well as those in hazard and disaster preparedness. Focuses on extreme space weather and its impacts on Earth, the Moon and Mars Includes hazard maps showing data and impacts on Earth from extreme space weather events Presents research on both observed and theoretical extreme events
The Solar Dynamics Observatory

ISBN: 1461436737
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
This volume is dedicated to the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which was launched 11 February 2010. The articles focus on the spacecraft and its instruments: the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE), and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI). Articles within also describe calibration results and data processing pipelines that are critical to understanding the data and products, concluding with a description of the successful Education and Public Outreach activities. This book is geared towards anyone interested in using the unprecedented data from SDO, whether for fundamental heliophysics research, space weather modeling and forecasting, or educational purposes. Previously published in Solar Physics journal, Vol. 275/1-2, 2012. Selected articles in this book are published open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license at link.springer.com.
