CONDITIONS FOR ARRIVAL OF SOLAR ENERGETIC PROTONS IN EARTH AFTER STRONG SOLAR FLARES
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2022, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
We analyze the Sun-to-Earth transport of energetic protons accelerated in solar flares. We use a model which assumes that protons move earthward in the Parker electromagnetic field. In this model, protons are shown to be recorded on Earth when they, moving away from the solar flare region, reach the vicinity of the heliospheric current sheet, while Earth is at a distance smaller than the proton Larmor radius from the current sheet neutral line. We present the analysis of experimental data on solar flares in August–September 2011. This analysis shows that the absence of energetic protons recording in the vicinity of Earth for some major solar flares can be explained by the proposed model.

FINE STRUCTURE EVENTS IN MICROWAVE EMISSION DURING SOLAR MINIMUM
The solar minimum is a period with a relatively smaller number of sunspots and solar eruptions, and has been less studied before. Since the radio signal rapidly responds to the change of solar plasma and magnetic field,...
INVESTIGATING SEASONAL FEATURES OF ELECTRON TEMPERATURE ENHANCEMENT REGIONS IN THE SUBAURORAL IONOSPHERE
The electron temperature enhancement is known to occur in the main ionospheric trough during geomagnetic disturbances. In this paper, we study fea-tures of the formation of the electron temperature (Te) enhancement in th...
Ultra low frequency emissions ranging from 0.1 to 3 Hz in circumpolar areas
We examine the characteristics of oscillations of two types in the high-frequency edge of the ULF range (0.1–3 Hz), serpentine emission (SE), and discrete frequency dispersed signals (DS). Oscillations of both the types...
POSSIBLE DIFFERENCE IN THE FORMATION OF CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS OF TWO TYPES
Analysis of seven near-limb coronal mass ejections (CMEs) has shown that at distances R<1.4R from the center of the Sun CMEs according to their formation can be divided into two types: type 1 CMEs and type 2 CMEs. In th...
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...
