  • Ionospheric Radars Development
    UNT Ionospheric radars development Enrico Zuccheretti, Umberto Sciacca [email protected] - [email protected] Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia - Rome, Italy The following slides were presented during the lectures of the course “Desarrollo de radares ionosféricos” held within the post graduate course on “Geofísica espacial” organised by the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán - Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Tecnología - Departamento de Posgrado in Tucumán on 4 – 7 October 2010. UNT Module 1 Basics of radar theory and design elements Introduction UNT •Amongst the big variety of techniques used to study the geophysical environment, methods using electromagnetic waves occupy a very prominent position. •These techniques exploit radio waves modifications when they interact with the medium they pass through. •The ionosphere is no exception: the most common way to study its behaviour is to emit radio wave pulses into the ionosphere and to study the backscattered echo. •The echo signal contains information about the layers in which it may be refracted, reflected or absorbed. •Also signals coming from satellites (NNSS, GPS) or from terrestrial emitting station (VLF emitters) can be used. They do not exploit the radar technique but their properties are affected by the medium they pass through.

Each solar activity cycle is characterized by a small number of superactive regions (SARs) that produce the most violent of space weather events with the greatest disastrous influence on our living environment. Aims. We aim to re-parameterize the SARs and study the latitudinal and longitudinal distributions of SARs. Methods. We select 45 SARs in solar cycles 21–23, according to the following four parameters: 1) the maximum area of sunspot group, 2) the soft X-ray flare index, 3) the 10.7 cm radio peak flux, and 4) the variation in the total solar irradiance. Another 120 SARs given by previous studies of solar cycles 19–23 are also included. The latitudinal and longitudinal distributions of the 165 SARs in both the Carrington frame and the dynamic reference frame during solar cycles 19–23 are studied statistically. Results. Our results indicate that these 45 SARs produced 44% of all the X class X-ray flares during solar cycles 21–23, and that all the SARs are likely to produce a very fast CME.

  • Interplanetary Conditions Causing Intense Geomagnetic Storms (Dst 100 Nt) During Solar Cycle 23 (1996–2006) E
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 113, A05221, doi:10.1029/2007JA012744, 2008 Interplanetary conditions causing intense geomagnetic storms (Dst ÀÀÀ100 nT) during solar cycle 23 (1996–2006) E. Echer,1 W. D. Gonzalez,1 B. T. Tsurutani,2 and A. L. C. Gonzalez1 Received 21 August 2007; revised 24 January 2008; accepted 8 February 2008; published 30 May 2008. [1] The interplanetary causes of intense geomagnetic storms and their solar dependence occurring during solar cycle 23 (1996–2006) are identified. During this solar cycle, all intense (Dst À100 nT) geomagnetic storms are found to occur when the interplanetary magnetic field was southwardly directed (in GSM coordinates) for long durations of time. This implies that the most likely cause of the geomagnetic storms was magnetic reconnection between the southward IMF and magnetopause fields. Out of 90 storm events, none of them occurred during purely northward IMF, purely intense IMF By fields or during purely high speed streams. We have found that the most important interplanetary structures leading to intense southward Bz (and intense magnetic storms) are magnetic clouds which drove fast shocks (sMC) causing 24% of the storms, sheath fields (Sh) also causing 24% of the storms, combined sheath and MC fields (Sh+MC) causing 16% of the storms, and corotating interaction regions (CIRs), causing 13% of the storms. These four interplanetary structures are responsible for three quarters of the intense magnetic storms studied. The other interplanetary structures causing geomagnetic storms were: magnetic clouds that did not drive a shock (nsMC), non magnetic clouds ICMEs, complex structures resulting from the interaction of ICMEs, and structures resulting from the interaction of shocks, heliospheric current sheets and high speed stream Alfve´n waves.

This capability makes it possible to frequently and even continuously monitor the D region electron density profile variations over geograph- ically large regions, which are measurements that are essentially impossible by other means.

Alibag(ABG) and Jaipur(JAI) are INTERMAGNET Observatories World Data Center (WDC) Mumbai - is member of ISCU World Data center(WDS),. The Colaba (Bombay) magnetogram for the extreme Geomagnetic storm 1-2 September, 1859. Tsurutani, B. T., W. D. Gonzalez, G. S. Lakhina, and S. Alex, The extreme magnetic storm of 1–2 September 1859, J. Geophys. Res., 108, 2003. The 1 September 1859 Carrington solar flare most likely had an associated intense magnetic cloud ejection which led to a storm on Earth of DST ~ -1760 nT. This is consistent with the Colaba, India local noon magnetic response of H = 1600 ± 10 nT. It is found that both the 1–2 September 1859 solar flare energy and the associated coronal mass ejection speed were extremely high but not unique. Superposed epoch plot of 69 magnetic storms (- 100nT) with clear main phase were selected during the solar cycle 23 period. (a) the associated interplanetary electric fields Some of the intense magnetic storms recorded (b) the Dst index.
