Observation of a solar flare induced interplanetary shock and helium-enriched driver gas
TLDR
In this paper, a solar flare induced interplanetary shock and helium enriched driver gas observed on 13 February 1967, discussing wind velocity and plasma acceleration were discussed. But the authors did not consider the effects of solar flares.Abstract:

The Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting
TL;DR: The connection between faults and the seismicity generated is governed by the rate and state dependent friction laws -producing distinctive seismic styles of faulting and a gamut of earthquake phenomena including aftershocks, afterslip, earthquake triggering, and slow slip events.

A study of geomagnetic storms
Paul Perreault,Syun-Ichi Akasofu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the interplanetary energy flux is estimated on the basis of the Poynting flux and its variations with the rate of energy dissipation in terms of: (1) the ring-current particle injection, (2) Joule dissipation, and (3) auroral particle injection for 15 major geomagnetic storms.

The association of coronal mass ejections with their effects near the Earth
TL;DR: In this paper, the radial propagation speed of CMEs pointed along the Sun-Earth-line towards the Earth cannot be measured directly because of the unfavorable geometry of the Earth's surface.

Coronal mass ejections and forbush decreases
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the characteristics of CMEs, their effects on particles and the present understanding of the mechanisms involved which cause the particle effects, and the role of the CME in long term modulation.

The initiation of coronal mass ejections by newly emerging magnetic flux
J. Feynman,S. F. Martin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present observational evidence that eruptions of quiescent filaments and associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) occur as a consequence of the destabilization of large-scale coronal arcades due to interactions between these structures and new and growing active regions.

Discontinuities in the solar wind
D. S. Colburn,Charles P. Sonett +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of a field of MHD discontinuities in the solar wind should make possible the generation of ensembles of shocks and contact surfaces, which can be treated as shock wave or contact surface.

Interplanetary field and geomagnetic variations a unified view
Joan Hirshberg,D.S. Colburn +1 more
TL;DR: Interplanetary magnetic fields from Explorer 33 magnetometer relationship to surface geomagnetic variations emphasizing unified view as discussed by the authors, showing that the Earth's magnetic field can be represented by a unified view.

Configuration and reconnection of the geomagnetic tail
TL;DR: Geomagnetic tail configuration and reconnection data from Explorer 33 satellite, noting skewing of field lines was collected by NASA's Explorer-33 satellite as mentioned in this paper, which is the only satellite capable of extracting geomagnetic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between the solar plasma wind and the geomagnetic cavity
TL;DR: In this paper, the shape of the converging "tail" portion of the geomagnetic cavity is determined by an equivalent gasdynamic (PrandtlMeyer) expansion along the surface streamline, and the effects of a transverse component of the interplanetary magnetic field are illustrated by considering the flow along the stagnation line between the bow shock and the stagnation point on the magnetosphere.

Interpretation of Kp index and M-region geomagnetic storms
A. J. Dessler,J.A. Fejer +1 more
TL;DR: The k sub p index as mentioned in this paper measures the flucuations of the sum of plasma plus magnetic pressure acting on the outer boundary of the magnetosphere, and is defined as a measure of the flueuations of a single particle.
