Middle Atmospheric Changes Caused by the January and March 2012 Solar Proton Events
The recent 23–30 January and 7–11 March 2012 solar proton event (SPE) periods were substantial and caused significant impacts on the middle atmosphere. These were the two largest SPE periods of solar cycle 24 so far. The highly energetic solar protons produced considerable ionization of the neutral atmosphere as well as HOx (H, OH, HO2) and NOx (N, NO, NO2). We compute a NOx production of 1.9 a...
متن کاملObserved Constraint on Proton-Proton Relative Velocities in the Solar Wind
From June 1994 to December 1995 the Ulysses spacecraft was within 3 AU of the Sun and traveled from high southern to high northern heliospheric latitudes. For this period, SWOOPS instrument data obtained when the magnetic field was approximately aligned with the radial direction from the Sun have been analyzed. In the fast wind at high latitudes, two resolvable proton components are typically p...
متن کاملMesospheric dynamical changes induced by the solar proton events in October–November 2003
[1] The Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Electrodynamic General Circulation Model (TIME-GCM) was used to study the atmospheric dynamical influence of the solar protons that occurred in Oct–Nov 2003, the fourth largest period of solar proton events (SPEs) measured in the past 40 years. The highly energetic solar protons produced odd hydrogen (HOx) and odd nitrogen (NOy). Significant short-live...
متن کاملPolar Mesosphere Winter Echoes during Solar Proton Events
Thin layers of enhanced radar echoes in the winter mesosphere have been observed by the ESRAD 52 MHz MST radar (67° 53 ‘ N, 21 ° 06 ‘ E) during several recent solar proton events. These polar mesosphere winter echoes (PMWE) can occur at any time of day or night above 70 km altitude, whereas below this height they are seen only during daytime. An energy deposition / ion-chemical model is used to...
متن کاملCorrelation of magnetic field intensities and solar wind speeds of events observed by ACE
[1] The relationship between the magnetic field intensity and speed of solar wind events is examined using 3 years of data from the ACE spacecraft. No preselection of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) or magnetic clouds is carried out. The correlation between the field intensity and maximum speed is shown to increase significantly when |B| > 18 nT for 3 hours or more. Of the 24 events satisfying th...
