DATABASE OF GEOMAGNETIC OBSERVATIONS IN RUSSIAN ARCTIC AND ITS APPLICATION FOR ESTIMATES OF THE SPACE WEATHER IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2022, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
An archive of digital 1-min data from Soviet/Russian Arctic magnetic stations has been created, starting from 1983 to the present. The archive includes data from stations deployed along the Arctic coast by various USSR/Russia institutes. All data are divided into daily files, converted into a standard IAGA2002 format, and provided with graphs for quick-look browsing. Some of the data are not included in the existing world data portals (SuperMAG, INTERMAGNET). We give examples of using the database for the Arctic: study of irregular disturbances and waves of the Pc5/Pi3 range exciting intense geomagnetically induced currents; distortion of the pipe-to-soil potential during magnetic storms; ground support for radar observations of the ionosphere. To assess the regions most susceptible to geomagnetic hazard, we calculated a map with normalized telluric fields for a uniform magnetic disturbance with a unit amplitude and periods 100–1000 s. This map shows that the geological structure significantly affects the magnitude of the geoelectric fields generated by magnetic disturbances. The database is made publicly available on the anonymous FTP site [ftp://door.gcras.ru/ftp_anonymous/ARCTICA_Rus].

Semi-empirical method of studying the D-layer aeronomy. II. Evidence-based calibration of the method
This paper presents the results of evidence-based calibration of a new semi-empirical method for studying the D-layer aeronomy. We use simultaneous measurements of altitude profiles of electron density Ne(h) and ionizati...
ALL-ATMOSPHERE IS-MST RADAR
The IS-MST radar, as the name implies, combines two different methods for studying the atmosphere using a backscatter signal. Turbulent fluctuations of the medium cause scattering in the mesosphere—stratosphere—troposphe...
VARIATIONS OF FLOW DIRECTION IN SOLAR WIND STREAMS OF DIFFERENT TYPES
Studying the direction of the solar wind flow is a topical problem of space weather forecasting. As a rule, the quiet and uniform solar wind propagates radially, but significant changes in the solar wind flow direction c...
COMPARISON BETWEEN PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTIONS OF VERTICAL ELECTRIC CURRENT IN SOLAR ACTIVE REGIONS BASED ON HMI/SDO AND SOT/HINODE DATA
Studying electric currents in solar active regions (AR) is an essential step in understanding solar activity in general and solar flares in particular. In this paper, we compare probability density functions of vertical...
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF ALFVÉN WAVES IN A FINITE PRESSURE PLASMA IN A DIPOLE MAGNETOSPHERE
We have carried out a numerical analysis of the spatial structure of Alfvén waves in a finite pressure inhomogeneous plasma in a dipole model of the magnetosphere. We have considered three magnetosphere models differing...
