Sentences with phrase «earth magnetic strength»

Not exact matches

Although we know that the magnetic field originates in different parts of Earth and that each source generates magnetism of different strengths, exactly how it is generated and why it changes is not fully understood.

Magnetic fields of different strengths make those electrons spiral in particular ways, and that spiraling changes the orientation of the light as it travels toward Earth.

Earth's dipole magnetic field strength has decreased 16 percent since 1840 — with most of the decay related to the weakening field in the South Atlantic Anomaly — leading to much speculation that the planet is in the early stages of a field reversal.

Both recent storms weakened Earth's magnetic field after just minutes, according to solar readings from satellites and magnetic strength readings from ground sensors.

Those threads indicate the presence of a magnetic field — 1/10, 000 the strength of Earth's, but huge — that holds the structure together.

Astronomers already knew that Mercury has a magnetic field about 1 per cent the strength of Earth's, and that the rotation of liquid iron in the core generates the field, just as happens inside Earth.

Mercury has a magnetic field about 1 per cent the strength of Earth's.

These signals indicate the strength and direction of Earth's magnetic field when the crystals formed.

(The largest of them measured 30 nanoteslas, which is about 1/100, 000 th the typical strength of the planet's magnetic field measured at Earth's surface.)

To make the map they used the known strength and direction of the Earth's magnetic field everywhere within the planet's mantle and crust.

Globally, Earth's magnetic field has declined in strength by 10 % since the 19th century with changes accelerating in recent years, according to measurements by Europe's SWARM satellites.

Researchers found that the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field five million years ago was just 60 percent of its strength today.

This is because the earth's magnetic field varies in strength and polarity direction.

It is suprising that no papers (that I KNOW of, correct me if I'm wrong) came out regarding CME direct hits of Mercury and Venus while spacecraft were in orbit around these planets.I assume this is because neither planet has a magnetic field, and the strength of such CME's can be INFERRED from hypothetically equivalent hitting Earth's magnetic field.

The strength of the sun's magnetic field is typically only about twice as strong as Earth's field.

The plasma in the interplanetary medium is also responsible for the strength of the Sun's magnetic field at the orbit of the Earth.

According to the skeptics, the solar irradiance isn't very important, it is the strength of the sun's magnetic field (that allows or stops cosmic rays from coming in which then causes more or less clouds, which increases or decreases the Earth's albedo, which then causes warming or cooling of the Earth's surface).

Is there any correlation between the flipping of Earth's magnetic polarity, with its corresponding weakening of the field's strength, and global climate?

Because of their speed, their large magnetic field strength, and their often long - lived and strong southward magnetic field component, many fast CMEs are highly geoeffective; that is, energy is transferred effectively between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere through the process of magnetic...

Strength of the Earth's magnetosphere is directly proportional to the strength of the Earth's magnetic field at any time scale from days to months years, solar cycles or Hale cycles periods, centuries, milStrength of the Earth's magnetosphere is directly proportional to the strength of the Earth's magnetic field at any time scale from days to months years, solar cycles or Hale cycles periods, centuries, milstrength of the Earth's magnetic field at any time scale from days to months years, solar cycles or Hale cycles periods, centuries, millennia..

This is the area where the Earth's magnetic forces are generated, strength of field is estimated to be about 25 Gauss, about 50 times greater than that on the Earth's surface.

The Earth's field sustains the magnetosphere and it is not constant either, it shows similar decadal variability, as shown in the data from and used by number of distinguished geo - magnetic scientists and researchers (Jault Gire, LeMouel, J. Bloxham, D. Gubbins, A.Jackson, R. Hide, D. Boggs, J. Dickey etc,) Since changes in either of two fields affect strength of the magnetosphere, it would be expected that the «magnetospheric variability» time function could be produced by combining two sets of available data.

Renown solar scientist Dr. K.G. McCracken from the Institute for Physical Science and Technology, University of Maryland, in 2007 published paper: Changes in the cosmic ray and heliomagnetic components of space climate, 1428 — 2005, including the variable occurrence of solar energetic particle events McCracken 2007 paper Major result of McCracken investigation based on 10Be dating is: the estimated annual average heliospheric magnetic field strength near Earth, 1428 — 2005, based on the inter-calibrated cosmic ray record as shown in Fig. 2 on p. 1073 (4 of 8).

How about this one: earth's core is molten iron - magnetic north can move around and invert according to the fossil record - the earths magnetism gives us the magnetosphere in the same way the sun's magnetism gives us the heliosphere - if the sun's electromagnet had a 11 year periodicity - some kind of resonance - then its magnetic strength could wax and wane - even better - it could be connected to Jupiter's magnetic field properties.

The most likely candidate for that climatic variable force that comes to mind is solar variability (because I can think of no other force that can change or reverse in a different trend often enough, and quick enough to account for the historical climatic record) and the primary and secondary effects associated with this solar variability which I feel are a significant player in glacial / inter-glacial cycles, counter climatic trends when taken into consideration with these factors which are, land / ocean arrangements, mean land elevation, mean magnetic field strength of the earth (magnetic excursions), the mean state of the climate (average global temperature), the initial state of the earth's climate (how close to interglacial - glacial threshold condition it is) the state of random terrestrial (violent volcanic eruption, or a random atmospheric circulation / oceanic pattern that feeds upon itself possibly) / extra terrestrial events (super-nova in vicinity of earth or a random impact) along with Milankovitch Cycles.

The amount of cosmic radiation reaching the Earth is controlled by the strength of the Sun's magnetic field.

The strength of the magnetosphere is regulated by the sun (whose activity changes in synchrony with the planets), but perhaps the strength of the Earth's magnetosphere is also regulated directly by the gravitational / magnetic forces of Jupiter and Saturn and the other planets whose gravitational / magnetic tides may stretch or compress the Earth's magnetosphere in some way making it easier or more difficult for the Earth's magnetosphere to deviate the cosmic ray.
