Correlation between variations of the flux of the cosmic rays and average in situ particle fluxes was investigated during Forbush decreases. Correlation exhibited dependence on the energy of solar wind particles, but also on cut-off rigidities of cosmic rays detected on th...
Thus, the term energetic solar particles (ESP) or solar energetic particles (SEP), i.e., energetic with respect to solar wind particles. In the following we will use the first term. Not all solar flare events produce particle fluxes that are observable on Earth. Whether or not a solar ...
We have studied the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction using a 3-D electromagnetic particle code. The results for an unmagnetized solar wind plasma streaming past a dipole magnetic field show the formation of a magnetopause and a magnetotail, the penetration of energetic particles into cusps and ...
A simple kinematic method for determining the particle velocity distribution of a model solar wind for which the spatial distribution of particles is given as a function of particle travel time has been developed by Hakamada and Akasofu (1982). Here we formalize their method mathematically and deriv...
and other disturbances on the sun can significantly disrupt the tranquility of theinterplanetary medium. The greatly enhanced solar wind streams that are produced by solar activity of all types have a higher velocity and a greater particle number density than the normal solar wind. Shock waves can...
(IMF). The solar wind ions appear to have been heated upon entry along the plasma sheet dawn flank. The cold-component (solar wind origin) ion density is higher on the dawn flank than the dusk flank. The asymmetric evolution of the KAW and magnetic reconnection in association with the KHI...
We reexamine the relationship between energy spectral indices and element abundance enhancements in solar energetic particle (SEP) events at energies of a
Spectral and cross-correlation analysis of signal frequency fluctuations measured in the ground-based during radio sounding time was performed. The analysis demonstrated the method capabilities in determination of the solar inner corona plasma formations characteristics and their detection in advance of ...
The wind conditions affect the performance of a solid particle solar receiver (SPSR) by convection heat transfer through the existing open aperture. Aerowindows have the potential of increasing the efficiency of an SPSR. In the present paper, the wind effect on the performance of an SPSR is inv...
Partial shading of solar panels diminishes their operating efficiency and energy synthesized as it disrupts the uniform absorption of sunlight. To tackle the issue of partial shading in photovoltaic (PV) systems, this article puts forward a comprehensive
