Sentences with phrase «solar wind burst»

Coronal holes produce a recurring solar wind burst which in turn (for low latitude coronal holes) creates a space charge differential in the earth's ionosphere which in turn causes an electric current to flow from high latitude regions to the earth's equator.

As Coronal holes can persist for months and years and as the solar wind burst affect lasts for roughly week, a coronal hole has a significant effect on planetary temperature) which reflects all solar activity, and it is highly correlated to global temperature variations in the whole period for which we have data.

The solar wind burst are created by equatorial coronal holes that appeared late in the solar cycles for cycles 21 and 22.

See section 5a) Modulation of the global circuit in this review paper, by solar wind burst and the process electroscavenging where by increases in the global electric circuit remove cloud forming ions.

The solar wind burst is expected to deliver only a «glancing blow» to Earth's magnetic field, but such currents can trip key transmission lines and damage transformers irreversibly

Changes to the strength of the heliosphere which modulates GCR, solar wind bursts which remove cloud forming ions, and a third mechanism.

Comment: The sun is hypothesized to modulate planetary cloud cover by the heliosphere's modulation of the GCR and by the solar wind bursts remove of cloud forming ions via the process electroscavenging.

Solar wind bursts remove cloud forming ions via the process electroscavenging.

The solar wind bursts create a space charge differential in the ionosphere which causes a current flow at the poles and at the equator, with the return path being through the conductive ocean.

A more suitable index is the geomagnetic activity (William: Short term abrupt changes to the geomagnetic field caused by solar wind bursts, which are measured by the short term geomagnetic field change parameter Ak.

At the AGU 2013 meeting it was also noted that the reduction in the solar wind density has changed rise time of the solar wind bursts (the solar wind burst still occur but the rise time of the wind burst is significant less which in turn will reduce the solar wind bursts effect on the ionosphere, reduce the magnitude of the electroscangening effect.

This change in the size and location of the coronal holes on the sun has resulted in less solar wind bursts and smaller magnitude solar wind bursts which explains why there is suddenly high latitude cooling.

For some unexplained reason there have been a large number of coronal holes on the surface of the sun, in low latitude positions during solar magnetic cycle 24, however due to the reduction in the solar wind density the solar wind bursts have less effect on cloud modulation which explains why there has suddenly be an increase sea ice in the Antarctic, a recovery of sea ice in the Arctic, and an inhibiting of the formation of El Niño events.

The solar wind bursts cause a warming of about 7 watts / m ^ 2 as compared to the incorrect estimated warming for a doubling of atmospheric CO2 of 3.7 watts / m ^ 2.

The solar wind bursts from coronal holes is one of the reasons why the planet has not cooled.

Astronomers tracked the interplanetary shocks caused by two powerful bursts of solar wind traveling from the sun to Uranus, then used Hubble to capture their effect on Uranus» auroras — and found themselves observing the most intense auroras ever seen on the planet.

A massive burst of solar wind that erupted from the sun Tuesday is expected to deliver only a «glancing blow» to the Earth's vulnerable magnetic field, NASA officials said yesterday.

Similarly, sudden bursts of plasma and magnetic field structures (coronal mass ejections, or CMEs) from the sun's atmosphere and high - speed solar wind could significantly disable large portions of the electric power grid.

These turbulent events also send out a burst of solar wind — energetic subatomic particles — that strikes Earth's magnetic field within 21 hours, creating a geomagnetic storm.

When the solar wind carries CMEs and other powerful bursts of radiation into a planet's magnetic field, it can cause the magnetic field on the back side to press together, a process known as magnetic reconnection.

Our Sun is active: Not only does it release a constant stream of material, called the solar wind, but it also lets out occasional bursts of faster - moving material, known as coronal mass ejections, or CMEs.
