Sentences with phrase «interplanetary magnetic field»

Here we report that the measurements of the near - Earth interplanetary magnetic field reveal that the total magnetic field leaving the sun has risen by a factor 1.4 since 1964.»

«The solar wind, because it is an extended ionized gas of very high electrical conductivity, drags some magnetic flux out of the Sun, thereby filling the heliosphere with the weak interplanetary magnetic field.

(They comment on the geomagnetic field's influence on cosmic ray flux in addition to the influence of the solar - driven interplanetary magnetic field; although I skipped over bothering to depict that in the prior graph compilation, which is very illustrative even without it, Vukcevic seems quite on to something there).

«The authors examined measurements of near - earth interplanetary magnetic field to determine the total magnetic flux leaving the sun since 1868... authors were able to show that the total magnetic flux leaving the sun has risen by a factor of 1.41 over the period 1964 - 1996.

These differences in density are caused by the interplay of the solar wind — the constant stream of charged particles from the sun — and the interplanetary magnetic field that stretches across the solar system.

«The study highlights the intriguing process that can occur in the magnetosphere when the interplanetary magnetic field of the solar wind points northwards,» adds Philippe Escoubet, ESA's Cluster project scientist.

The electric currents driven by the coupling of the solar wind and the interplanetary magnetic field with the geomagnetic field — which during the 19th century flowed through telegraph wires — can now find their way into electric power transmission lines with potentially devastating consequences.

Satellites stationed at geosynchronous orbit and at the first Lagrangian point measure charged particles and the solar and interplanetary magnetic fields.

The solar wind and solar magnetic field (named the interplanetary magnetic field [IMF] when it is observed away from the Sun) expand throughout the entire solar system, extending to more than three times the distance of Neptune's orbit before the solar wind is slowed by the interstellar medium.

Surrogate measurements of the interplanetary magnetic field previous to this time indicate that this parameter has increased by a factor of 2.3 since 1901... results of this study lead us to wonder just how much of the reported 0.6 °C global temperature rise of the last century might be a result of the more than two-fold increase in the total magnetic solar flux over that period.

The solar wind density is also important along with the angle (Bz) of the interplanetary magnetic field.

It's also changes in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field, which cycles along with energy output and shields the earth from galactic cosmic rays.
