STUDYING AURORAL ACTIVITY USING THE SME INDEX AT THE MAGNETIC STORM MAIN PHASE DURING CIR AND ICME EVENTS
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2021, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
In this paper, we examine the relationship of the SME index with magnetic storm characteristics and interplanetary medium parameters during the main phase of magnetic storms caused by CIR and ICME events. Over the period 1990–2017, 107 magnetic storms driven by (64) CIR and (43) ICME events have been selected. In contrast to AE and Kp, a stronger correlation is shown to exist between the average SME index (SMEaver) and interplanetary medium parameters during the magnetic storm main phase. Close correlation coefficients between SMEaver and the SW electric field (southward IMF Bz) have been obtained for CIR and ICME events. SMEaver has been found to increase with the rate of magnetic storm development and |Dstmin|. For CIR and ICME events, no difference has been revealed between SMEaver and |Dstmin| in linear regression equations.

GEOMAGNETIC INDICES ASY-H AND SYM-H AND THEIR RELATION TO INTERPLANETARY PARAMETERS
The dependences of the geomagnetic indices SYM-H and ASY-H on interplanetary parameters for the period from 1981 to 2015 according to their daily averages are studied. The study is carried out in two ways: the first — th...
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...
GENERATION OF ALFVÉN WAVES IN MAGNETIZED PLASMA BY LASER PLASMA BUNCHES AT MACH NUMBERS MUCH LESS THAN UNITY
In this paper, we examine a torsional Alfvén wave produced by periodic plasma bunches in a magnetized plasma flux tube. A new effect has been revealed: the wave is generated not only during the action of bunches, but als...
