STATISTICAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN VARIATIONS OF THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD, AURORAL ELECTROJET, AND GEOMAGNETICALLY INDUCED CURRENTS
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Using observations from the IMAGE magnetic observatories and the station for recording geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) in the electric transmission line in 2015, we examine relationships between geomagnetic field and GIC variations. The GIC intensity is highly correlated (R>0.7) with the field variability |dB/dt| and closely correlated with variations in the time derivatives of X and Y components. Daily variations in the mean geomagnetic field variability |dB/dt| and GIC intensity have a wide night maximum, associated with the electrojet, and a wide morning maximum, presumably caused by intense Pc5–Pi3 geomagnetic pulsations. We have constructed a regression linear model to estimate GIC from the time derivative of the geomagnetic field and AE index. Statistical distributions of the probability density of the AE index, geomagnetic field derivative, and GIC correspond to the log-normal law. The constructed distributions are used to evaluate the probabilities of extreme values of GIC and |dB/dt|.

THE CURRENT STATE OF THE THEORY OF PC1 RANGE ULF PULSATIONS IN MAGNETOSPHERIC PLASMA WITH HEAVY IONS: A REVIEW
The review considers the current state of the theory of short-period ULF waves in plasma with admixture of heavy ions (ions whose mass significantly exceeds the mass of protons). The presence of heavy ions influences the...
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...
GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES AT F1-LAYER HEIGHTS UNDER DIFFERENT SOLAR ACTIVITY CONDITIONS OVER NORILSK
We analyze the influence of geomagnetic disturbances on the electron density Ne at Norilsk ionospheric station (69° N; 88° E) at F1-layer heights (120–200 km). For the analysis, we have selected 25 moderate and weak geom...
