NATURAL ELECTROMAGNETIC OSCILLATIONS IN 4–12 HZ FREQUENCY RANGE AS MEASURED BY SWARM SATELLITES AND CARISMA MAGNETOMETER NETWORK
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2023, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
We examine magnetic field variations at 4–12 Hz frequencies in the upper ionosphere and on Earth. The ground response to the coherent oscillations at two SWARM satellites near and above the high frequency boundary of the nominal Pc1 range is studied. We use CARISMA data to analyze ground pulsations. Ionospheric oscillations are predominantly registered at geomagnetic latitudes above 65°, i. e. from the auroral zone to the polar cusp-cleft region. The oscillations at the same frequencies are recorded at auroral and subauroral ground stations at distances from 1500 to 3000 km from satellite footprint. Ratio RGI of the oscillation amplitude on Earth to that in the ionosphere retrieved from the observed data is compared to the values calculated for a finite radius Alfvén beam incident onto a quasi-real ionosphere. [Fedorov et al., 2018]. Radial distribution of RGI depends on the oscillation frequency and the altitude distribution of ionospheric parameters controlled mostly by season and local time. The most probable values of RGI range from 10–3 to 10–1. The RGI values obtained from the observed data agree with model ones at incident beam radius of about several hundred kilometers.

METEOR TRAIL DRIFT RESEARCH BASED ON BASELINE OBSERVATIONS
We analyze the results of a rare long-lived quasisymmetric ellipsoidal-annular meteor trail recorded on November 18, 2017 by two optical all-sky cameras, spaced at a distance of 150 km. The analysis is based on astrometr...
THE PROCESSES OF ENERGY RELEASE IN LOW-POWER SOLAR FLARES
Using flare patrol data for 1972–2010 [http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/space-weather/solar-data/solar-features/solar-flares/], we have conducted statistical studies of small solar flares. We have established a correlation b...
ON THE FORMATION OF THE F1 LAYER DURING SUDDEN STRATOSPHERIC WARMING EVENTS
Using vertical sounding data obtained by the Irkutsk digisonde DPS-4 from 2003 to 2016, we have studied the frequency of occurrence of the F1 layer in winter conditions. The frequency of occurrence of the F1 layer in Dec...
LONG-LIVED METEOR TRAILS
The paper presents data on long-lived (~20–40 min) meteor trails. We describe a group of soliton-type meteor trails expanding at transonic speeds. Radio sounding data evidences that the latter include ~7–8 min ionization...
Features of Earth’s lower ionosphere during solar eclipse and sunset and sunrise hours according to measurements by the API method near Nizhny Novgorod
We present the results of experimental studies into the response of Earth’s lower ionosphere to a partial solar eclipse. The studies have been carried out using the method of resonant scattering of radio waves by artific...
