The Effect of the Solar Wind on the Terrestrial Environment

  • Chapter
Physics of the Sun

Part of the book series: Geophysics and Astrophysics Monographs ((GAAM,volume 26))

Abstract

When the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) carried by the expanding solar corona has a southward component for about an hour or longer, a number of remarkable phenomena begin to be perceived at Earth. Invariably there are displays of aurora, usually at high latitudes but sometimes also at low latitudes. Instruments measuring magnetic fields show deviations from normal levels. Disruptions may occur in power distribution systems and in radio and cable communication systems. The deeper the terrestrial environment is probed with both ground-based and spacecraft instruments, the more associated phenoma are discovered. It is perhaps surprising that the impact of the expanding corona can be so pronounced, since at Earth its energy flux is six to seven orders of magnitude smaller than the energy flux radiated by the Sun.
