What is a geomagnetic storm
Walter D. Gonzalez,J. A. Joselyn,Yohsuke Kamide,H. W. Kroehl,Gordon Rostoker,Bruce T. Tsurutani,Vytenis M. Vasyliunas +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an attempt is made to define a geomagnetic storm as an interval of time when a sufficiently intense and long-lasting interplanetary convection electric field leads, through a substantial energization in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system, to an intensified ring current sufficiently strong to exceed some key threshold of the quantifying storm time Dst index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetospheric substorms-definition and signatures
Gordon Rostoker,S.-I. Akasofu,John C. Foster,R. A. Greenwald,Yohsuke Kamide,K. Kawasaki,A. T. Y. Lui,Robert L. McPherron,Christopher T. Russell +8 more
TL;DR: An operational definition of the magnetospheric substorm and a critique of the various signatures by which researchers can identify the time sequence and spatial extent of the substorm are presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current understanding of magnetic storms: storm-substorm relationships
Yohsuke Kamide,Wolfgang Baumjohann,Ioannis A. Daglis,Walter D. Gonzalez,Manuel Grande,J. A. Joselyn,Robert L. McPherron,John L. Phillips,E. G. D. Reeves,Gordon Rostoker,A. S. Sharma,Howard J. Singer,Bruce T. Tsurutani,Vytenis M. Vasyliunas +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the current understanding of the storm/substorm relationship by clearing up a considerable amount of controversy and by addressing the question of how solar wind energy is deposited into and is dissipated in the constituent elements that are critical to magnetospheric and ionospheric processes during magnetic storms.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the origin of relativistic electrons in the magnetosphere associated with some geomagnetic storms
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that large amplitude ULF pulsations are a unique feature of intervals of time in which the fluxes of relativistic electrons rise to high levels at radial distances beyond the normal L-shell range occupied by the outer radiation belt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canopus — A ground-based instrument array for remote sensing the high latitude ionosphere during the ISTP/GGS program
Gordon Rostoker,John C. Samson,F. Creutzberg,T. J. Hughes,D.R. McDiarmid,A. G. McNamara,A. Vallance Jones,D. D. Wallis,L. L. Cogger +8 more
TL;DR: The CANOPUS array as mentioned in this paper consists of thirteen magnetometers and riometers, four meridian scanning photometers, a digital allsky imager and an auroral radar linked by geostationary satellite to a central receiving node.
