COMPLEXES OF ACTIVITY ON THE SUN IN SOLAR CYCLE 21
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2021, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper provides statistical data on solar activity complexes (ACs) observed in solar cycle 21. From the synoptic charts for the 1976–1986 sunspot activity, we have detected the regions where the sunspot generation was observed at least through three Carrington Rotations (CRs). These regions were identified as AC cores. We have compiled an AC catalogue. ACs are shown to evolve quasi-periodically, in pulses that are 15–20 rotations long. We have analyzed the North-South asymmetry in the AC location. In cycle 21, 90 % of the proton flares that affected the natural environment are shown to have occurred in ACs. We note a tendency for AC activity to decrease, as well as the manifestation of the Gnevyshev—Ohl rule in AC properties, in solar cycles 21–24.

MODULATION EFFECT OF MAGNETIC COROTATING TRAP ON 27-DAY COSMIC RAY VARIATION IN NOVEMBER–DECEMBER 2014
We study the 27-day cosmic-ray (CR) intensity variation occurring in November–December 2014, using ground-based measurements from the worldwide network of neutron monitors and GOES-15 satellites. A determining factor in...
ANALYZING EXISTING APPLIED MODELS OF THE IONOSPHERE TO CALCULATE RADIO WAVE PROPAGATION AND A POSSIBILITY OF THEIR USE FOR RADAR-TRACKING SYSTEMS. II. DOMESTIC MODELS
We consider the ionospheric models that are suitable for over-the-horizon HF and UHF band radars. Namely, there are three such models: the numerical model developed by IZMIRAN and Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics,...
MANIFESTATIONS OF TWO BRANCHES OF SOLAR ACTIVITY IN THE HELIOSPHERE AND GCR INTENSITY
This paper provides insight into heliospheric processes and galactic cosmic ray (GCR) modulation occurring due to the presence of two branches of solar activity in this solar layer. According to the topology of solar mag...
QUASI-PERIODIC OSCILLATIONS OF SMALL-SCALE MAGNETIC STRUCTURES AND A SPECIFIC METHOD FOR MEASURING THE DIFFERENTIAL ROTATION OF THE SUN
The SDO/HMI data with an angular resolution of 1 arcsec have been used to explore the differential rotation on the Sun, using an original “p2p” effect on the basis of the movement of small-scale magnetic structures in th...
FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINED FLUXES OF HIGH-ENERGY GAMMA-RAY EMISSION AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF SOLAR FLARES
We have studied properties of sustained gamma fluxes having quantum energies of >100 MeV at different stages of flares with 1-min temporal resolution (Fermi/LAT). The most probable process of emergence of high-energy gam...
