Download or read book Ionization Rates Due to the Absorption of Solar Protons and Alpha Particles in the Upper Atmosphere written by William Swider and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ionization rates generated by atmospheric attenuation of solar protons and alpha particles, with integral exponential rigidity spectrums, are calculated for selected values of particle rigidity and geomagnetic cutoff. Ionization produced by these energetic particles creates polar cap absorption events, which disturb radio and radar communications. The ionization rates are required in order to formulate models for these events. (Author).

This book was released on 1974 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D-region ionization rates have been determined from satellite proton spectra as a function of altitude for forty-four instances during the period of 2 to 5 November 1969 Polar Cap Absorption Event. The ionization rates were calculated using least square fits to the satellite proton spectra in both energy and rigidity. The combined results provide ionization rates for the event as a function of universal time. (Author).
Download or read book Proceedings of COSPAR Symposium on Solar Particle Event of November 1969 written by James C. Ulwick and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A COSPAR-sponsored Symposium on Solar Particle Events was held at Boston College at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts on 16, 17, and 18 June 1971. The purpose of the symposium was to present measurements and observations made during the November 1969 Solar Proton Event. This particular event was unique in that extensive solar, magnetospheric and aeronomic measurements by rocket, satellite and ground based techniques were made to provide a comprehensive picture of the phenomenology and morphology of this event. In addition, present knowledge of solar proton events and their effects on the polar ionosphere was reviewed and discussed. This included theoretical studies as well as results from investigations of other solar proton events. The symposium comprised invited as well as contributed papers. A total of 49 papers presented at the symposium are included in these proceedings.

Download or read book Handbook of Atmospheric Electrodynamics written by Hans Volland and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-04-27 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The participation of such diverse scientific and technical disciplines as meteorology, astronomy, atmospheric electricity, ionospheric and magnetospheric physics, electromagnetic wave propagation, and radio techniques in the research of atmospherics means that results are published in scientific papers widely spread throughout the literature. This Handbook collects the latest knowledge on atmospherics and presents it in two volumes. Each chapter is written by an expert in his or her field. Topics include the physics of thunderclouds, thunder, global atmospheric electric currents, biological aspects of sferics, and various space techniques for detecting lightning within our own atmosphere as well as in the atmospheres of other planets. Up-to-date applications and methodology are detailed. Volumes I and II offer a comprehensive discussion that together will serve as an important resource for practitioners, professionals, and students alike.

Download or read book Ionospheric Effects of Solar Flares written by Hermine Vloemans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances resulting from an interaction of the Solar Flare radiation with the constituents of the upper atmosphere constitute one of the three major aspects of ground level monitoring of solar flares -the other two being optical observations of flares, and the observations of solar bursts in radio wavelengths. SIDs, therefore, form a major part of flare monitoring programme in many observatories. Unlike the other two, however, the ionospheric effects of flares provide one major additional source of interest - the reaction of the ionospheric plasma to an impulsive ionization. The high atmosphere provides a low pressure laboratory without walls in which a host of reactions occur between electrons, ions and neutral particles. The resulting products and their distributions may bear no resemblance to those of the primary neutral constituents or their direct ionization products. The variations with the time of the day, with season and with solar activity that form the bulk of the ionospheric measurements are too slow to allow any insight into the nature of these ionospheric reactions whose lifetimes are often very short. The relaxation time of the ionospheric ionization is only a few minutes or fraction of a minute in the lower ionosphere and in the E-region and is about 30 min to an hour at 300 km. The flares provide a sudden short impulse comparable to these time scales.
