This paper reviews the principal results of direct measurements of the plasma and magnetic field by spacecraft close to the Earth (within the heliocentric distance range 0.7–1.5 AU). The paper gives an interpretation of the results for periods of decrease, minimum and increase of the solar activity. The following problems are discussed: the interplanetary plasma (chemical composition, density, solar wind flow speed, temperature, temporal and spatial variation of these parameters), the interplanetary magnetic field (intensity, direction, fluctuations and its origin), some derived parameters characterizing the physical condition of the interplanetary medium; the quasi-stationary sector structure and its connection with solar and terrestrial phenomena; the magnetohydrodynamic discontinuities in the interplanetary medium (tangential discontinuities and collisionless shock waves); the solar magnetoplasma interaction with the geomagnetic field (the collisionless bow shock wave, the magnetosheath, the magnetopause, the Earth's magnetic tail, the internal magnetosphere characteristics), the connection between the geomagnetic activity and the interplanetary medium and magnetosphere parameters; peculiarities in behaviour of the interplanetary medium and magnetosphere during geomagnetic storms; energetic aspects of the geomagnetic storms. 相似文献

The characteristics of solar energetic particles (SEP) as observed in interplanetary space provide fundamental information about the origin of these particles, and the acceleration and propagation processes at the Sun and in interplanetary space. Furthermore, energetic particles provide information on the development and structure of coronal mass ejections as they propagate from the solar corona into the interplanetary medium. In this paper we review the measurements of energetic particles in interplanetary space and discuss their implication for our understanding of the sources, and of acceleration and propagation processes. 相似文献

This paper reviews recent developments in the understanding of the solar-wind magnetosphere interaction process in which the interplanetary magnetic field has been found to play a key role. Extensive correlative studies between the interplanetary magnetic field and the magnetospheric parameters have in the past few years yielded detailed information on the nature of the interaction process and have made possible to follow the sequence of events that are produced inside the magnetosphere in consequence of the solar-wind energy transfer. We summarize the observed effects of the interplanetary magnetic field, its north-south and east-west components in particular, found in various domains of the magnetosphere — dayside magnetopause, polar cap, magnetotail, auroral zone —, and present an overall picture of the solar-wind magnetosphere interaction process. Dungey's reconnected magnetosphere model is used as a frame of reference and the basic compatibility of the observations with this model is emphasized. In order to avoid overlap with other review articles in the series discussion on the energy conversion process inside the magnetosphere leading to the substorm phenomenon is kept to the minimal. 相似文献

Following a solar flare in April 1979, a stream of ions and electrons appeared in interplanetary space for about 8 days. The ions follow a classic ESP pattern. Large fluxes of low energy (2–11 keV) electrons are also present throughout the event. Several distinct populations of these electrons can be identified in association with filaments of interplanetary magnetic field. The electron energy spectrum is remarkably well fit by a power law exponent -2.7 during most of the event.The pitch angle distribution of the low energy electrons are complex and undergo many changes. Weak pitch angle scattering and adiabatic effects play a role in shaping these distributions. The low energy electron fluxes increase following the strong interplanetary shock on 5 April 1979.An invited paper presented at STIP Workshop on Shock Waves in the Solar Corona and Interplanetary Space, 15–19 June, 1980, Smolenice, Czechoslovakia.Physics Department and Space Sciences Laboratory.Space Sciences Laboratory. 相似文献

Particle Acceleration at Interplanetary Shocks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper briefly reviews proton acceleration at interplanetary shocks. This is key to describing the acceleration of heavy
ions at interplanetary shocks because wave excitation—and hence particle scattering—at oblique shocks is controlled by the
protons and not the heavy ions. Heavy ions behave as test particles, and their acceleration characteristics are controlled
by the properties of proton-excited turbulence. As a result, the resonance condition for heavy ions introduces distinctly
different signatures in abundance, spectra, and intensity profiles, depending on ion mass and charge. Self-consistent models
of heavy-ion acceleration and the resulting fractionation are discussed. This includes discussion of the injection problem
and the acceleration characteristics of quasi-parallel and quasi-perpendicular shocks. 相似文献

Energetic particle observations in the interplanetary medium provide fundamental information about the origin, development
and structure of coronal mass ejections. This paper reviews the status of our understanding of the ways in which particles
are energised at the Sun in association with CMEs. This understanding will remain incomplete until the relationship between
CMEs and flares is determined and we know the topology of the associated magnetic fields. The paper also discusses the characteristics
of interplanetary CMEs that may be probed using particle observations. 相似文献

Plasma and magnetic field signatures from 29 November 1990 indicate that the Ulysses spacecraft passed through a series of interplanetary structures that were most likely formed by magnetic reconnection on open field lines ahead of a coronal mass ejection (CME). This reconnection changed the magnetic topology of the upstream region by converting normal open interplanetary magnetic field into a pair of regions: one magnetically disconnected from the Sun and the other, a tongue, connected back to the Sun at both ends. This process provides a new method for producing both heat flux dropouts and counterstreaming suprathermal electron signatures in interplanetary space. In this paper we expand upon the 29 November case study and argue that reconnection ahead of CMEs should be less common at high heliolatitudes. 相似文献

We present a review on the interplanetary causes of intense geomagnetic storms (Dst≤−100 nT), that occurred during solar cycle 23 (1997–2005). It was reported that the most common interplanetary structures
leading to the development of intense storms were: magnetic clouds, sheath fields, sheath fields followed by a magnetic cloud
and corotating interaction regions at the leading fronts of high speed streams. However, the relative importance of each of
those driving structures has been shown to vary with the solar cycle phase. Superintense storms (Dst≤−250 nT) have been also studied in more detail for solar cycle 23, confirming initial studies done about their main interplanetary
causes. The storms are associated with magnetic clouds and sheath fields following interplanetary shocks, although they frequently
involve consecutive and complex ICME structures. Concerning extreme storms (Dst≤−400 nT), due to the poor statistics of their occurrence during the space era, only some indications about their main interplanetary
causes are known. For the most extreme events, we review the Carrington event and also discuss the distribution of historical
and space era extreme events in the context of the sunspot and Gleissberg solar activity cycles, highlighting a discussion
about the eventual occurrence of more Carrington-type storms. 相似文献

The Electric Antennas for the STEREO/WAVES Experiment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The STEREO/WAVES experiment is designed to measure the electric component of radio emission from interplanetary radio bursts and in situ plasma waves and fluctuations in the solar wind. Interplanetary radio bursts are generated from electron beams at interplanetary shocks and solar flares and are observed from near the Sun to 1 AU, corresponding to frequencies of approximately 16 MHz to 10 kHz. In situ plasma waves occur in a range of wavelengths larger than the Debye length in the solar wind plasma λ D ≈10 m and appear Doppler-shifted into the frequency regime down to a fraction of a Hertz. These phenomena are measured by STEREO/WAVES with a set of three orthogonal electric monopole antennas. This paper describes the electrical and mechanical design of the antenna system and discusses efforts to model the antenna pattern and response and methods for in-flight calibration. 相似文献

The ionic charge of solar energetic particles (SEP) as observed in interplanetary space is an important parameter for the
diagnostic of the plasma conditions at the source region and provides fundamental information about the acceleration and propagation
processes at the Sun and in interplanetary space. In this paper we review the new measurements of ionic charge states with
advanced instrumentation onboard the SAMPEX, SOHO, and ACE spacecraft that provide for the first time ionic charge measurements
over the wide energy range of ∼0.01 to 70 MeV/nuc (for Fe), and for many individual SEP events. These new measurements show
a strong energy dependence of the mean ionic charge of heavy ions, most pronounced for iron, indicating that the previous
interpretation of the mean ionic charge being solely related to the ambient plasma temperature was too simplistic. This energy
dependence, in combination with models on acceleration, charge stripping, and solar and interplanetary propagation, provides
constraints for the temperature, density, and acceleration time scales in the acceleration region. The comparison of the measurements
with model calculations shows that for impulsive events with a large increase of Q
Fe(E) at energies ≤1 MeV/nuc the acceleration occurs low in the corona, typically at altitudes ≤0.2 R

Magnetic Reconnection Phenomena In Interplanetary Space 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Interplanetary magnetic reconnection(IMR) phenomena are explored based on the observational data with various time resolutions
from Helios, IMP-8, ISEE3, Wind, etc. We discover that the observational evidence of the magnetic reconnection may be found
in the various solar wind structures, such as at the boundary of magnetic cloud, near the current sheet, and small-scale turbulence
structures, etc. We have developed a third order accuracy upwind compact difference scheme to numerically study the magnetic
reconnection phenomena with high-magnetic Reynolds number (R
M=2000–10000) in interplanetary space. The simulated results show that the magnetic reconnection process could occur under
the typical interplanetary conditions. These obtained magnetic reconnection processes own basic characteristics of the high
R
M reconnection in interplanetary space, including multiple X-line reconnection, vortex velocity structures, filament current
systems, splitting, collapse of plasma bulk, merging and evolving of magnetic islands, and lifetime in the range from minutes
to hours, etc. These results could be helpful for further understanding the interplanetary basic physical processes.

SWEA, the solar wind electron analyzers that are part of the IMPACT in situ investigation for the STEREO mission, are described. They are identical on each of the two spacecraft. Both are designed to provide detailed measurements of interplanetary electron distribution functions in the energy range 1~3000 eV and in a 120°×360° solid angle sector. This energy range covers the core or thermal solar wind plasma electrons, and the suprathermal halo electrons including the field-aligned heat flux or strahl used to diagnose the interplanetary magnetic field topology. The potential of each analyzer will be varied in order to maintain their energy resolution for spacecraft potentials comparable to the solar wind thermal electron energies. Calibrations have been performed that show the performance of the devices are in good agreement with calculations and will allow precise diagnostics of all of the interplanetary electron populations at the two STEREO spacecraft locations. 相似文献

Interplanetary origin of geomagnetic storms 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Around solar maximum, the dominant interplanetary phenomena causing intense magnetic storms (Dst<−100 nT) are the interplanetary
manifestations of fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Two interplanetary structures are important for the development of storms,
involving intense southward IMFs: the sheath region just behind the forward shock, and the CME ejecta itself. Whereas the
initial phase of a storm is caused by the increase in plasma ram pressure associated with the increase in density and speed
at and behind the shock (accompanied by a sudden impulse [SI] at Earth), the storm main phase is due to southward IMFs. If
the fields are southward in both of the sheath and solar ejecta, two-step main phase storms can result and the storm intensity
can be higher. The storm recovery phase begins when the IMF turns less southward, with delays of ≈1–2 hours, and has typically
a decay time of 10 hours. For CMEs involving clouds the intensity of the core magnetic field and the amplitude of the speed
of the cloud seems to be related, with a tendency that clouds which move at higher speeds also posses higher core magnetic
field strengths, thus both contributing to the development of intense storms since those two parameters are important factors
in genering the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling via the reconnection process.
During solar minimum, high speed streams from coronal holes dominate the interplanetary medium activity. The high-density,
low-speed streams associated with the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) plasma impinging upon the Earth's magnetosphere cause
positive Dst values (storm initial phases if followed by main phases). In the absence of shocks, SIs are infrequent during
this phase of the solar cycle. High-field regions called Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) are mainly created by the fast
stream (emanating from a coronal hole) interaction with the HCS plasma sheet. However, because the Bz component is typically highly fluctuating within the CIRs, the main phases of the resultant magnetic storms typically have
highly irregular profiles and are weaker. Storm recovery phases during this phase of the solar cycle are also quite different
in that they can last from many days to weeks. The southward magnetic field (Bs) component of Alfvén waves in the high speed stream proper cause intermittent reconnection, intermittent substorm activity,
and sporadic injections of plasma sheet energy into the outer portion of the ring current, prolonging its final decay to quiet
day values. This continuous auroral activity is called High Intensity Long Duration Continuous AE Activity (HILDCAAs).
Possible interplanetary mechanisms for the creation of very intense magnetic storms are discussed. We examine the effects
of a combination of a long-duration southward sheath magnetic field, followed by a magnetic cloud Bs event. We also consider the effects of interplanetary shock events on the sheath plasma. Examination of profiles of very
intense storms from 1957 to the present indicate that double, and sometimes triple, IMF Bs events are important causes of such events. We also discuss evidence that magnetic clouds with very intense core magnetic
fields tend to have large velocities, thus implying large amplitude interplanetary electric fields that can drive very intense
storms. Finally, we argue that a combination of complex interplanetary structures, involving in rare occasions the interplanetary
manifestations of subsequent CMEs, can lead to extremely intense storms.

Cosmic-ray scintillations registered by ground-base observations reflect, as a rule, the action of a whole number of processes proceeding in interplanetary space and Earth's magnetosphere. The study of scintillation phenomena in cosmic rays, is, in fact, divided into a number of problems connected with the interaction of charged particles of cosmic radiation with the matter and fields which they encounter in the entire length of their propagation. The cosmic-ray scintillations established by different authors from the data of ground-base and high-altitude devices for quiet and disturbed periods, as well as the theoretical calculations of different models and mechanisms of the origin and development of cosmic-ray scintillations are analyzed. High-frequency scintillations of f 10-5 Hz are shown to be precursors of an approaching shock wave, scintillations with periods of the order of 10–20 and 40–50 min being most sensitive to disturbances of interplanetary medium near the Earth. Since cosmic rays of different energies are sensitive to different processes in interplanetary space at different distances from the Earth, one can sound the conditions in interplanetary medium up to 1015 cm from the Earth by measuring particle fluxes at different energy ranges. 相似文献

Large-scale propagation properties of interplanetary disturbances revealed from IPS and spacecraft observations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations may be used to study large-scale propagation properties of transient interplanetary disturbances in a three-dimensional manner, although current IPS observations have several limitations, e.g., poor time resolution and line-of-sight integration. Comparative studies with spacecraft solar wind and white-light coronal mass ejection (CME) observations are quite helpful in interpretation of IPS observations. An interplanetary disturbance apparently in association with a disappearing solar filament, which took place near the central meridian of the Sun on late 22 April, 1979, is discussed to examine previous deductions from IPS observations. Three-station IPS observations of the flow speed and spacecraft observations suggest that a quasi-spherical interplanetary disturbance was formed around the Sun-Earth line, whereas the center of the disturbance derived from the distribution of enhanced IPS across the sky (g-maps) is located to the east of the Sun-Earth line.Permanently at Research Institute of Atmospherics, Nagoya University, Toyokawa 442, Japan. 相似文献
