REVIEW AND COMPARISON OF MHD WAVE CHARACTERISTICS AT THE SUN AND IN EARTH’S MAGNETOSPHERE
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2022, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves play a crucial role in the plasma processes of stellar atmospheres and planetary magnetospheres. Wave phenomena in both media are known to have similarities and unique traits typical of each system. MHD waves and related phenomena in magnetospheric and solar physics are studied largely independently of each other, despite the similarity in properties of these media and the common physical foundations of wave generation and propagation. A unified approach to studying MHD waves in the Sun and Earth's magnetosphere opens up prospects for further progress in these two fields. The review examines the current state of research into MHD waves in the Sun’s atmosphere and Earth's magnetosphere. It outlines the main features of the wave propagation media: their structure, scales, and typical parameters. We describe the main theoretical models applied to wave behavior studies; discuss their advantages and limitations; compare characteristics of MHD waves in the Sun’s atmosphere and Earth’s magnetosphere; and review observation methods and tools to obtain information on waves in various media.

DATABASE OF GEOMAGNETICALLY INDUCED CURRENTS IN THE MAIN TRANSMISSION LINE “NORTHERN TRANSIT”
Database containing the results of measurements of geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) for the period of 2011 to 2022 in transformer neutrals at three 330 kV substations of the main power transmission lines “Northern...
INCREASES IN SCR ENERGETIC PROTON FLUXES ON EARTH AND THEIR RELATION TO SOLAR SOURCES
Logachev catalog data for solar cycle 23 has been used to study the dependence of measured increases in solar cosmic rays (SCRs) on solar perturbations. The efficiency of recording the SCR increases, driven by proton acc...
MONITORING OF MAGNETOSPHERIC PARAMETERS BASED ON COSMIC RAY EFFECTS IN AUGUST 2018
Using data (uncorrected for the temperature effect) from the global network of neutron monitors (GNNM), along with data from the Yakutsk muon telescope complex and the muon hodoscope URAGAN (Moscow), we have applied a mo...
APPEARANCE OF ACTIVE REGIONS AT THE END OF SOLAR CYCLE 24 AND AT THE BEGINNING OF CYCLE 25
The spatial-temporal picture of appearance of active regions and the relationship of their appearance with the structure and development of a large-scale magnetic field were studied during the transition from solar cycle...
METHOD OF AUTOMATIC CORRECTION OF NEUTRON MONITOR DATA FOR PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF SNOW IN REAL TIME
We have carried out an experimental study of the influence of precipitation in the form of snow on measurements of the neutron flux intensity near Earth's surface. We have examined the state of the snow cover and its den...
