Centennial variations in sunspot number, open solar flux and streamer belt width: 3. Modeling
From the variation of near-Earth interplanetary conditions, reconstructed for the mid-19 century to the present day using historic geomagnetic activity observations, Lockwood and Owens (2014) have suggested that Earth remains within a broadened streamer belt during solar cycles when the Open Solar Flux (OSF) is low. From this they propose that the Earth was immersed in almost constant slow sola...
متن کاملCentennial variations in sunspot number, open solar flux, and streamer belt width: 2. Comparison with the geomagnetic data
We investigate the relationship between interdiurnal variation geomagnetic activity indices, IDV and IDV(1d), corrected sunspot number, RC , and the group sunspot number RG . RC uses corrections for both the “Waldmeier discontinuity,” as derived in Paper 1, and the “Wolf discontinuity” revealed by Leussu et al. (2013). We show that the simple correlation of the geomagnetic indices with RC n or ...
متن کاملDeciphering solar magnetic activity: on grand minima in solar activity
The Sun provides the energy necessary to sustain our existence. While the Sun provides for us, it is also capable of taking away. The weather and climatic scales of solar evolution and the Sun-Earth connection are not wellunderstood. There has been tremendous progress in the century since the discovery of solar magnetism—magnetism that ultimately drives the electromagnetic, particulate, and eru...
متن کاملPropagation and structure of planar streamer fronts
Streamers are a mode of dielectric breakdown of a gas in a strong electric field: A sharp nonlinear ionization wave propagates into a nonionized gas, leaving a nonequilibrium plasma behind. The ionization avalanche in the tip of the wave is due to free electrons being accelerated in the strong field and ionizing the gas by impact. This chain reaction deeper in the wave is suppressed by the gene...
متن کاملImplications of the Recent Low Solar Minimum for the Solar Wind during the Maunder Minimum
The behavior of the Sun and near-Earth space during grand solar minima is not understood; however, the recent long and low minimum of the decadal-scale solar cycle gives some important clues, with implications for understanding the solar dynamo and predicting space weather conditions. The speed of the near-Earth solar wind and the strength of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) embedded wit...
