The geomagnetic Kp-index data for the 1932–1969 period have been investigated by means of a modified power spectrum technique on the basis of overlapping 2-yr intervals. The observed 27-, and 13.5-day periodicities show an obvious solar cycle dependence through the whole period concerned. Also, periodicities in the range of 9?4 days have been observed through years of minimum and decreasing phases of solar activity. The periodicities observed are found to be related to the existence of variations in the interplanetary medium structure which modulates the geomagnetic activity. 相似文献

We study quasi-periodical changes in the amplitudes of the 27-day variation of the galactic cosmic ray (GCR) intensity, and the parameters of solar wind and solar activity. We have recently found quasi-periodicity of three to four Carrington rotation periods (3?–?4 CRP) in the amplitudes of the 27-day variation of the GCR intensity (Gil and Alania in J. Atmos. Solar-Terr. Phys. 73, 294, 2011). A similar recurrence is recognized in parameters of solar activity (sunspot number, solar radio flux) and solar wind (components of the interplanetary magnetic field, solar wind velocity). We believe that the 3?–?4 CRP periodicity, among other periodicities, observed in the amplitudes of the 27-day variation of the GCR intensity is caused by a specific cycling structure of the Sun’s magnetic field, which may originate from the turbulent nature of the solar dynamo. 相似文献

The geomagnetic activity is the result of the solar wind–magnetosphere interaction. It varies following the basic 11-year solar cycle; yet shorter time-scale variations appear intermittently. We study the quasi-periodic behavior of the characteristics of solar wind (speed, temperature, pressure, density) and the interplanetary magnetic field (B x , B y , B z , β, Alfvén Mach number) and the variations of the geomagnetic activity indices (D ST, AE, A p and K p). In the analysis of the corresponding 14 time series, which span four solar cycles (1966?–?2010), we use both a wavelet expansion and the Lomb/Scargle periodograms. Our results verify intermittent periodicities in our time-series data, which correspond to already known solar activity variations on timescales shorter than the sunspot cycle; some of these are shared between the solar wind parameters and geomagnetic indices. 相似文献

The solar wind plasma exhibits many features of the solar surface passed on to the interplanetary medium as temporal variations
due to the solar rotation. The yearly average values of solar wind velocity, and geomagnetic index A
p during 1965–1999 were found to exhibit long period evolution. They were found to peak around the declining phase of each
solar cycle. While the solar wind velocity peaks around the second half of the declining phase, the IMF field strength increases
around the first half of the declining phase of each solar cycle. The power spectrum of these parameters shows peaks around
37-day, 30-day, 27-day, 13.5-day, 9-day, and 7-day periods. The temporal evolution of the power spectrum of the solar wind
plasma parameters and the geomagnetic activity index A
p are also studied in detail and presented with the help of contour graphs. These studies indicate that the strength of the
quasi-periodicities in the interplanetary medium evolves with time. 相似文献

By using the solar magnetic ?eld data of Wilcox Observatory from 1975 to 2010, the short-time periodicities of solar mean magnetic ?elds during solar maximum and minimum years are analyzed. The results reveal that the solar magnetic ?elds mainly exhibit the approximate periods of 9 d, 13 d, and 27 d. During maximal solar activity the period about 27 d is most conspicuous, while during minimal solar activity the most evident period is approximately 13.5 d (except the solar minimum in the years 1984-1986). These results imply that solar active regions exhibit evidently different distributions in the periods of maxima and minima of solar activity. 相似文献

Periodic Appearance of Coronal Holes and the Related Variation of Solar Wind Parameters 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
We compared the variability of coronal hole (CH) areas (determined from daily GOES/SXI images) with solar wind (daily ACE
data) and geomagnetic parameters for the time span 25 January 2005 until 11 September 2005 (late declining phase of solar
cycle 23). Applying wavelet spectral analysis, a clear 9-day period is found in the CH time series. The GOES/SXI image sequence
suggests that this periodic variation is caused by a mutual triangular distribution of CHs ∼120° apart in longitude. From
solar wind parameters a 9-day periodicity was obtained as well, simultaneously with the 9-day period in the CH area time series.
These findings provide strong evidence that the 9-day period in solar wind parameters, showing up as higher harmonic of the
solar rotation frequency, is caused by the “periodic” longitudinal distribution of CHs on the Sun recurring for several solar
rotations. The shape of the wavelet spectrum from the Dst index matches only weakly with that from the CH areas and is more similar to the wavelet spectrum of the solar wind magnetic
field magnitude. The distinct 9-day period does not show up in sunspot group areas which gives further evidence that the solar
wind modulation is strongly related to CH areas but not to active region complexes. The wavelet power spectra for the whole
ACE data range (∼1998 – 2006) suggest that the 9-day period is not a singular phenomenon occurring only during a specific
time range close to solar minimum but is occasionally also present during the maximum and decay phase of solar cycle 23. The
main periods correspond to the solar rotation (27d) as well as to the second (13.5d) and third (9d) harmonic.

Two 9400-year long 10Be data records from the Arctic and Antarctic and a 14C record of equal length were used to investigate the periodicities in the cosmic radiation incident on Earth throughout the past 9400 years. Fifteen significant periodicities between 40 and 2320 years are observed in the 10Be and 14C records, there being close agreement between the periodicities in each record. We found that the periodic variations in the galactic cosmic radiation are the primary cause for periods <?250 years, with minor contributions of terrestrial origin possible >?250 years. The spectral line for the Gleissberg (87-year) periodicity is narrow, indicating a stability of ≈?0.5 %. The 9400-year record contains 26 Grand Minima (GM) similar to the Maunder Minimum, most of which occurred as sequences of 2?–?7 GM with intervals of 800?–?1200 years in between, in which there were no GM. The intervals between the GM sequences are characterised by high values of the modulation function. Periodicities <?150 years are observed in both the GM intervals and the intervals in between. The longer-period variations such as the de Vries (208-year) cycle have high amplitudes during the GM sequences and are undetectable in between. There are three harmonically related pairs of periodicities (65 and 130 years), (75 and 150 years), and (104 and 208 years). The long periodicities at 350, 510, and 708 years closely approximate 4, 6, and 8 times the Gleissberg period (87 years). The well-established properties of cosmic-ray modulation theory and the known dependence of the heliospheric magnetic field on the solar magnetic fields lead us to speculate that the periodicities evident in the paleo-cosmic-ray record are also present in the solar magnetic fields and in the solar dynamo. The stable, narrow natures of the Gleissberg and other periodicities suggest that there is a strong “frequency control” in the solar dynamo, in strong contrast to the variable nature (8?–?15 years) of the Schwabe (11-year) solar cycle. 相似文献

The properties of the heliospheric magnetic field and the solar wind were substantially different in the unusual solar minimum between Cycles 23 and 24: the magnetic-field strength was substantially reduced, as were the flow properties of the solar wind, such as the mass flux. Explanations for these changes are offered that do not require any substantial reconsideration of the general understandings of the behavior of the heliospheric magnetic field and the solar wind that were developed in the minimum of Cycle 22?–?23. Solar-wind composition data are used to demonstrate that there are two distinct regions of solar wind: solar wind likely to originate from the stalk of the streamer belt (the highly elongated loops that underlie the heliospheric current sheet), and solar wind from outside this region. The region outside the streamer-stalk region is noticeably larger in the minimum of Cycle 23?–?24; however, the increased area can account for the reduction in the heliospheric magnetic-field strength in this minimum. Thus, the total magnetic flux contained in this region is the same in the two minima. Various correlations among the solar-wind mass flux and coronal electron temperature inferred from solar-wind charge states were developed for the Cycle 22?–?23 solar minimum. The data for the minimum of Cycle 23?–?24 suggest that the correlations still hold, and thus the basic acceleration mechanism is unchanged in this minimum. 相似文献

Interplanetary scintillation (IPS) measurements of the solar wind speed for the distance range between 13 and 37 R S were carried out during the solar conjunction of the Nozomi spacecraft in 2000?–?2001 using the X-band radio signal. Two large-aperture antennas were employed in this study, and the baseline between the two antennas was several times longer than the Fresnel scale for the X-band. We successfully detected a positive correlation of IPS from the cross-correlation analysis of received signal data during ingress, and estimated the solar wind speed from the time lag corresponding to the maximum correlation by assuming that the solar wind flows radially. The speed estimates range between 200 and 540?km?s?1 with the majority below 400?km?s?1. We examined the radial variation in the solar wind speed along the same streamline by comparing the Nozomi data with data obtained at larger distances. Here, we used solar wind speed data taken from 327 MHz IPS observations of the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory (STEL), Nagoya University, and in?situ measurements by the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) for the comparison, and we considered the effect of the line-of-sight integration inherent to IPS observations for the comparison. As a result, Nozomi speed data were proven to belong to the slow component of the solar wind. Speed estimates within 30 R S were found to be systematically slower by 10?–?15 % than the terminal speeds, suggesting that the slow solar wind is accelerated between 13 and 30 R S. 相似文献

We use dual-site radio observations of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) with extremely long baselines (ELB) to examine meridional flow characteristics of the ambient fast solar wind at plane-of-sky heliocentric distances of 24?–?85 solar radii (R ⊙). Our results demonstrate an equatorwards deviation of 3?–?4° in the bulk fast solar wind flow direction over both northern and southern solar hemispheres during different times in the declining phase of Solar Cycle 23. 相似文献

We study the interplanetary features and concomitant geomagnetic activity of the two high-speed streams (HSSs) selected by the Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI) campaign participants: 20 March to 16 April 2008 in Carrington rotation (CR) 2068. This interval was chosen to perform a comprehensive study of HSSs and their geoeffectiveness during this ??deep?? solar minimum. The two HSSs within the interval were characterized by fast solar-wind speeds (peak values >?600 km?s?1) containing large-amplitude Alfvénic fluctuations, as is typical of HSSs during normal solar minima. However, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) magnitude [B o] was exceptionally low (??3??C?5 nT) during these HSSs, leading to lower than usual IMF B z values. The first HSS (HSS1) had favorable IMF polarity for geomagnetic activity (negative during northern Spring). The average AE and Dst for the HSS1 proper (HSS1P) were +?258 nT and ??21 nT, respectively. The second HSS (HSS2) had a positive sector IMF polarity, one that is less favorable for geomagnetic activity. The AE and Dst index averages were +?188 nT and ??7 nT, both lower than corresponding numbers for the first event, as expected. The HSS1P geomagnetic activity is comparable to, and the HSS2P geomagnetic activity lower than, corresponding observations for the previous minimum (1996). Both events?? geomagnetic activities are lower than HSS events previously studied in the declining phase (in 2003). In general, V sw was faster for the HSSs in 2008 compared to 1996. The southward IMF B z was lower in the former. The product of these two parameters [V sw and IMF B z ] comprises the solar-wind electric field, which is most directly associated with the energy input into the magnetosphere during the HSS intervals. Thus the combined effects led to the solar wind energy input in 2008 being slightly less than that in 1996. A detailed analysis of magnetic-field variances and Alfvénicity is performed to explore the characteristics of Alfvén waves (a central element in the geoeffectiveness of HSSs) during the WHI. The B z variances in the proto-CIR (PCIR) were ???30 nT2 and <?10 nT2 in the high speed streams proper. 相似文献

The short-term periodicity in the solar mean magnetic field (SMMF) observed at the Wilcox Solar Observatory during the last four activity cycles is investigated by using Lomb?CScargle periodograms. Our results show that the SMMF has main periods of about 27, 13.5, and 9 days in both the maximum and minimum years of each activity cycle. The SMMF has the most dominant period of about 27 days during the activity maxima. However, during the activity minimum years the 13.5-day periodicity is the most significant, except for the minimum of 1984??C?1986. These results indicate that the distribution of active regions in the activity maximum years is quite different from that in the minimum years. 相似文献

We have analyzed the intermediate-term periodicities in soft X-ray flare index (FISXR) during solar cycles 21, 22 and 23. Power-spectral analysis of daily FISXR reveals a significant period of 161 days in cycle 21 which is absent during cycles 22 and 23. We have found that in cycle 22 periodicities of 74 and 83 days are in operation. A 123-day periodicity has been found to be statistically significant during part of the current solar cycle 23. The existence of these periodicities has been discussed in the light of earlier results. 相似文献

Measurements by balloon-borne instruments, data from the satellites Explorer 41 and 43 and riometer recordings were used to investigate the influence of magnetospheric processes on the precipitation of energetic solar protons related to the occurrence of two ssc's on 8–9 August 1972. The high-energy protons (Ep ? 30 MeV) had direct access to auroral-zone latitudes. The flux variations of low-energy (some MeV) protons in interplanetary space and the magnetosphere were different from those of the protons precipitated in the auroral zone. These low-energy protons were precipitated mainly during and after the ssc's. The importance of direct proton access, radial diffusion, pitch angle scattering and proton acceleration for the explanation of the low-energy proton behaviour is discussed. 相似文献

We study the relationship of the 27-day variations of the galactic cosmic ray intensity with similar variations of the solar
wind velocity and the interplanetary magnetic field based on observational data for the Bartels rotation period # 2379 of
23 November 2007 – 19 December 2007. We develop a three-dimensional (3-D) model of the 27-day variation of galactic cosmic
ray intensity based on the heliolongitudinally dependent solar wind velocity. A consistent, divergence-free interplanetary
magnetic field is derived by solving Maxwell’s equations with a heliolongitudinally dependent 27-day variation of the solar
wind velocity reproducing in situ observations. We consider two types of 3-D models of the 27-day variation of galactic cosmic ray intensity, i) with a plane heliospheric neutral sheet, and ii) with the sector structure of the interplanetary magnetic field. The theoretical calculations show that the sector structure
does not significantly influence the 27-day variation of galactic cosmic ray intensity, as had been shown before, based on
observational data. Furthermore, good agreement is found between the time profiles of the theoretically expected and experimentally
obtained first harmonic waves of the 27-day variation of the galactic cosmic ray intensity (with a correlation coefficient
of 0.98±0.02). The expected 27-day variation of the galactic cosmic ray intensity is inversely correlated with the modulation
parameter ζ (with a correlation coefficient of −0.91±0.05), which is proportional to the product of the solar wind velocity
V and the strength of the interplanetary magnetic field B (ζ∼VB). The high anticorrelation between these quantities indicates that the predicted 27-day variation of the galactic cosmic
ray intensity mainly is caused by this basic modulation effect. 相似文献

The Solar Wind Energy Flux 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The solar-wind energy flux measured near the Ecliptic is known to be independent of the solar-wind speed. Using plasma data from Helios, Ulysses, and Wind covering a large range of latitudes and time, we show that the solar-wind energy flux is independent of the solar-wind speed and latitude within 10?%, and that this quantity varies weakly over the solar cycle. In other words the energy flux appears as a global solar constant. We also show that the very high-speed solar wind (V SW>700?km?s?1) has the same mean energy flux as the slower wind (V SW<700?km?s?1), but with a different histogram. We use this result to deduce a relation between the solar-wind speed and density, which formalizes the anti-correlation between these quantities. 相似文献

Solar wind interaction with neutral interstellar helium focused by the Sun's gravity in the downwind solar cavity is discussed in a hydrodynamical approach. Upon ionization the helium atoms “picked up” by the (single fluid) solar wind plasma cause a slight decrease in the wind speed and a corresponding marked temperature increase. For neutral helium density outside the cavity nHe∞ = 0.01 atoms cm?3 and for interstellar kinetic temperature THe= 10,000 K, the reduction is speed of the solar wind on the downwind axis at 10 AU from the Sun amounts to about 2kms?1; the solar wind temperature excess attains 7000 K. The resulting pressure excess leads to a non-radial flow of the order of 0.25 km s?1. The possibility of experimental confirmation is discussed. 相似文献

We study the velocity-space quasi-linear diffusion of the solar wind protons driven by oblique Alfvén turbulence at proton kinetic scales. Turbulent fluctuations at these scales possess the properties of kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) that are efficient in Cherenkov-resonant interactions. The proton diffusion proceeds via Cherenkov kicks and forms a quasi-linear plateau – the nonthermal proton tail in the velocity distribution function (VDF). The tails extend in velocity space along the mean magnetic field from 1 to (1.5?–?3) V A, depending on the spectral break position, on the turbulence amplitude at the spectral break, and on the spectral slope after the break. The most favorable conditions for the tail generation occur in the regions where the proton thermal and Alfvén velocities are about equal, V Tp/V A≈1. The estimated formation times are within 1?–?2 h for typical tails at 1 AU, which is much shorter than the solar wind expansion time. Our results suggest that the nonthermal proton tails, observed in situ at all heliocentric distances >?0.3 AU, are formed locally in the solar wind by the KAW turbulence. We also suggest that the bump-on-tail features – proton beams, often seen in the proton VDFs, can be formed at a later evolutional stage of the nonthermal tails by the time-of-flight effects. 相似文献

The correlation between the proton flux intensity I p with the energies E p > 1?100 MeV and radio burst parameters for 107 solar energetic events is considered using the observation data for 1989?C2005 obtained with GOES and Wind satellites, as well as the Radio Solar Telescope Network (RSTN). It has been revealed that 73 and 77% of the events were accompanied by type-II radio bursts in the meter (m II, 25?C299 MHz) and the decameter-hectometer (DH II, 20 kHz?C14 MHz) wavelength ranges, respectively. The correlation coefficient between I p and the frequency drift velocity of the type-II bursts V II did not exceed 0.40. As V II increased, the intensity of I p increased for the m-II bursts and decreased for the DH-II bursts. Coronal shock waves accelerate protons more efficiently than interplanetary waves, and their contribution to acceleration increases with an increase in the particle energy E p . The acceleration of solar energetic particles in the region of the flare energy release is predominant. 相似文献
