POSSIBILITY OF USING GLM DATA FOR STUDYING PLASMA PHENOMENA
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2022, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
The article deals with scientific and technical problems associated with the functionality of the geostationary lightning mapper, which is currently used for meteorological monitoring. Results of the study into the Schumann resonance phenomenon and the technical parameters of the mapper were analyzed simultaneously. A hypothesis is offered which suggests that there are pulsations in the time dependences of the radiation power of lightning activity at frequencies corresponding to Schumann resonance. A new application of the geostationary lightning mapper for studying plasma phenomena is proposed. Adding to the mapper an acousto-optic filter and a camera, which has the functions of switching the resolution/frame rate parameters, is shown to be useful for both meteorological and plasma studies.

ESTIMATED RELATIONS BETWEEN THE MAIN THERMOSPHERIC NEUTRAL COMPONENTS AT IONOSPHERIC F1-LAYER HEIGHTS ABOVE IRKUTSK IN 2014–2017
We have estimated seasonal variations in the main thermospheric gas components [O]/[N₂] and [O₂]/[O] for the period 2014–2017. We have used the well-known authoring technique and electron density measurements made with t...
ELECTRON DENSITY IN THE F1 LAYER OVER NORILSK IN 2007–2014
We report the results of the analysis of annual variations in daily electron density (N) for various solar activity conditions — minimum, rise, and maximum (2007–2014) — obtained from digisonde measurements at the ionosp...
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...
GEOMAGNETIC VARIATIONS IN THE FREQUENCY RANGE 2.5–12 HZ IN THE IONOSPHERIC F LAYER AS MEASURED BY SWARM SATELLITES
We have analyzed geomagnetic variations in the 2.5–12 Hz frequency range in the ionospheric F layer above the electron density maximum, using data from two SWARM satellites. The analysis is based on the data obtained und...
ASYMMETRY IN OCCURRENCE OF THE LEADING AND FOLLOWING POLARITIES IN THE PHOTOSPHERIC MAGNETIC FIELD AT THE EARLY STAGE OF ACTIVE REGION FORMATION
We study the evolution of the photospheric magnetic field at the early stage of active region development. We use data on longitudinal component of the magnetic field and line-of-sight velocities from SOHO/MDI and SDO/HM...
