SOLAR SPECTROPOLARIMETER FOR SPACE WEATHER FORECAST
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
We propose a project of the meter wavelength range solar spectropolarimeter designed for a ground-based network developing for space weather forecast. The Software-Defined Radio (SDR) solution is chosen to meet such instrument network requirements as specification identity, low cost, possibility of controlling and transmitting data remotely via the Internet. Along with these requirements, the proposed SDR solution allows us to measure Stokes I and V easily, which contrasts the proposed instrument with e-CALLISTO network spectropolarimeters, most of which can record only one linear polarization. Deployment of such instruments at various longitudes will allow continuous observation of type II bursts, often related to coronal mass ejections (CMEs) — the most geoeffective solar activity events that affect the space weather significantly.

IMPACT OF TYPHOON VONGFONG 2014 ON THE IONOSPHERE AND GEOMAGNETIC FIELD ACCORDING TO SWARM SATELLITE DATA: 1. WAVE DISTURBANCES OF IONOSPHERIC PLASMA
The article considers the influence of large atmospheric processes on the ionosphere by the example of tropical typhoon Vongfong 2014. We use data obtained from three SWARM satellite missions (450–500 km altitude). We di...
DIAGNOSTICS OF PLASMA JETS IN THE SOLAR CORONA
The paper discusses the diagnostics of plasma jets in the solar corona with the use of data from modern space- and ground-based telescopes observing the Sun in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and micro- wave bands. We exam...
ACCELERATION OF PARTICLES IN A CONSTANT MAGNETIC FIELD AND AN ELECTRIC FIELD PERPENDICULAR TO IT, INCREASING WITH TIME
The paper addresses the problem of acceleration of particles in a constant, uniform magnetic field of magnitude B and a uniform electric field perpendicular to it, which slowly increases with time. Assuming that the elec...
MHD WAVES IN THE COLLISIONAL PLASMA OF THE SOLAR CORONA AND TERRESTRIAL IONOSPHERE
We have studied MHD waves (Alfvén and fast compressional modes) in a homogeneous collisional three-component low-β plasma. The three-component plasma consists of electrons, ions, and neutrals with arbitrary ratio between...
MANIFESTATION OF SOLAR WIND COROTATING INTERACTION REGIONS IN GCR INTENSITY VARIATIONS
The regions of interaction between solar wind streams of different speed, known as corotating interaction regions, form an almost constantly existing structure of the inner heliosphere. Using observational data on the ma...
