TOROIDAL MODELS OF MAGNETIC FIELD WITH TWISTED STRUCTURE
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
We present and discuss properties of the following magnetic field models in a magnetic cloud: Miller and Turner solution, modified Miller–Turner solution, Romashets–Vandas toroidal and integral models, and Krittinatham–Ruffolo model. Helicity of the magnetic field in all the models is the main feature of magnetic clouds. The first three models describe the magnetic field inside an ideal torus. In the integral model, parameters of a generating torus ambiguously determine the volume and form of the magnetic field region. In the Krittinatham–Ruffolo model, the cross-section radius of the torus is variable, thereby it corresponds more closely to the real form of magnetic clouds in the inner heliosphere. These models can be used to interpret in-situ observations of the magnetic flux rope, to study a Forbush decrease in magnetic clouds and transport effects of solar energetic particles injected into a coronal mass ejection.

ESTIMATING ANTENNA COUPLING FACTOR FOR PROBLEM OF TOPSIDE IONOSPHERE SOUNDING FROM SPACE BY CHIRP SIGNALS
When developing the first topside ionosphere sounding stations, the issue was debated concerning the improvement of the electromagnetic compatibility of such devices through the use of chirp signals. One of the main prob...
Long-period geomagnetic pulsations as an element of the space weather influence on technologocal systems
We analyze variations in geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) and pulsations of the geomagnetic field latitudinal By component in the frequency range 1–20 mHz. The analysis is based on the data from GIC registration at...
MID-LATITUDE AURORA IN SOLAR CYCLES 23–24 FROM OBSERVATIONS IN THE SOUTH OF EASTERN SIBERIA
The paper presents observations of mid-latitude aurora (MA) in the south of Eastern Siberia in solar cycles 23–24. Spectral composition and dominant emissions of MA, daily distribution of MA detection probability, depend...
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...
