An analytic representation of the quiet daily variation of the geomagnetic field, Sq, was obtained for the North American region with a mean error of less than 10% of the daily variation range. The month by month 24-, 12-, 8-, and 6-hr Fourier components of the field in H, D, and Z were found to have significant annual and semiannual changes that, in general, agreed with the expectations for ionospheric current sources for the changes. Tables and computer programs are provided from which the quiet field representation may be constructed for any selected North American location. At the equator the Sq(H) variation was over 125 gammas and showed significant equinoctial maxima. At 30 deg to 40 deg the lowest values of Sq(H) (less than 20 gammas) were representative of the region of the ionospheric current vortex. Mid latitude Sq(D) values were about 50 gammas in range. Great enhancements of the daily field, particularly in Sq(H) and Sq(Z) occurred at high latitude with a strong summertime maximum range of about 90 gammas in Sq(H) at about 75 deg lat. Five-degree latitude representation of the quiet daily field change illustrate the variations occuring during the day and in different months of the year. (Author).
Using a minimum of mathematics, and without sacrificing depth of coverage, the author clearly presents the geomagnetic source fields. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
Physics of Geomagnetic phenomena, Volume I covers the significant advances in geomagnetism and the penetrations into the generation of geomagnetic field phenomena. This volume is composed of three chapters. Chapter I deals briefly with the discovery and developments in geomagnetism, followed by discussions on some fundamental topics of the field, including the aurora and geomagnetic storms. This chapter also considers the instruments, geomagnetic stations, and the correlations between geomagnetic indices. Chapter II describes the magnetic properties of minerals and various processes of acquisition of remanent magnetization. This chapter also provides palaeomagnetic data for the direction and intensity of the geomagnetic field in ancient times. Chapter III explores geomagnetic variations caused by solar flares and eclipses. This book will prove useful to physicists, students in upper atmospheric and space topics, and scientists in allied fields with a background in geomagnetism.
This is the first book to review all the fields of equatorial electrojet phenomena and their relevant theories in one volume. In certain relevant sections, the book discusses both the equatorial electrojet and the world-wide parts of the Sq current systems. Onwumwchili is an internationally known and highly respected expert in the equatorial electrojet field- a brand of geomagnetism.
This book demonstrates that the method, based on the ground polar cap magnetic observations is a reliable diagnosis of the solar wind energy coming into the magnetosphere Method for the uninterruptive monitoring of the magnetosphere state (i.e. space weather). It shows that the solar wind energy pumping power, can be described by the PC growth rate, thus, the magnetospheric substorms features are predetermined by the PC dynamics. Furthermore, it goes on to show that the beginning and ending of magnetic storms is predictable. The magnetic storm start only if the solar energy input into the magnetosphere exceeds a certain level and stops when the energy input turns out to be below this level.
