  • Some observational features on the July 5, 1995 substorm event are presented using the data from the Geotail satellite which was located at near-Earth plasma sheet, ${X}_{GSE}$$-9.6R_{E}$, and quite close to the onset sector. Near-tail magnetic field reveals the typical dipolarizations starting ar ∼ 11-4 UT until ∼ 1113 UT. During the interval, two dipolarizations occur: First dipolarization is not strong and accompanies only weak(<150km/s) earthward/dawnward plasma flows, and in the second dipolarization that follows shortly, rather large amplitude magnetic fluctuations are seen, but it initiates with no significant earthward flow. The earthward bursty flow with a maximum speed of > 450km/s was observed, but delayed by ∼ 1 min with respect to the second dipolarization initiation. These features are in conflict with the flow-braking scenario for the substorm. Rather they fit better in the near-tail current disruption scenario.

  • We investigate the critical issue on how the BBF (bursty bulk flow) is related to the substorm current wedge formation. Observationally, after analysing data sets from Geotail spacecraft at near tail and many ground magnetic observatories for 9 months period of 1996, we find three BBF events that clearly occurred at the center of the wedge with region I type FAC (field-aligned current), and two other BBF events that were seen outside the wedge sector. Theoretically, we suggest that the substorm current wedge generation by BBF is most likely when the h' VB contribution is dominant in the well-known MHD $J_{II}$ expression (Vasyliunaus, 1984) or when the divergence of the cross-tail current carried by the particle's gradient/curvature drift is predominantly sufficient at the moment of the BBF arrival at near tail.

  • 전파연구소 이천분소에서는 1996년 8월에 지자기연속관측시스템을 이천분소(이천관측소: N37.1447, E127,5509)와 경희대학교(용인관측소: N37.1419, E127.0454)에 각각 설치하여 현재 관측중에 있으며, 현재 이것의 데이터베이스를 구축하고 있다. 또한 1997년 여름쯤에는 제주도(제주대학교)에 관측시스템 1식을 추가로 설치하여 한반도의 위도별 지자기 변화를 실시간으로 모니터할 예정이다. 본 논문에서는 이천 및 용인관측소에서 1996년 12월 2일에 관측한 CME(Coronal Mass Ejection)을 Kakioka 관측소, WIND 및 Geotail 위성에서 관측 한 데이터들을 비교 분석하였다.

  • The passage of the interplanetary discontinuity (i.e., sudden increases in the solar wind speed, density, and IMF strength) was detected by ACE near GSE (x, y, z) ~ (222, -36, 3) Re upstream of Earth around 22:48 UT on November 24, 2008. About 55 min later, this solar wind discontinuity was observed by Geotail near GSE (x, y, z) ~ (23, 18, -7) Re in front of Earth's bow shock. From the propagation time of the solar wind discontinuity between ACE and Geotail, it is expected that the discontinuity front is aligned with the Parker spiral and strikes the postnoon dayside magnetopause first. Using coordinated multi-point measurements (THEMIS and GOES) at or in geosynchronous orbit, we observed a tailward propagating sudden impulse (SI), excited by the interplanetary discontinuity, around 23:50 UT with its front retaining alignment similar to that of solar wind discontinuity. The SI event appears a negative-then-positive variation in the H component at high latitude Chokurdakh (CHD: MLAT ~ 64.7 deg) in the prenoon sector, which is opposite sense of normal SI event. During the positive deflection at CHD, the SuperDARN Hokkaido radar detected the downward motion of the ionosphere, implying westward electric field enhancement, at subauroral latitudes near CHD meridian. In our study we will discuss magnetospheric and ionospheric responses to the passage of the solar wind discontinuity using multi-point observations in space and on the ground.

  • 태양면의 교란으로 야기되는 지구근방 우주환경의 변화는 인류에게 막대한 사회경제적인 손실을 유발하므로 이를 예측하는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 본 연구에서 도입한 자기폭풍 예보코드는 이러한 변화양상을 지자기활동지수인 AE 및 Dst, 극관횡단전위차, 극지방전리층에서 소모되는 에너지 그리고 여기에 수반되는 열권의 온도상승 등의 형태로 예보하도록 고안되었다. 본 예보코드는 플레어 관측으로부터 태양풍 그리고 행성간자기장을 예측하는 부분과 추정된 태양풍파라미터로 표현되는 태양풍-자기권상호작용함수인 $\varepsilon$으로부터 상기 물리량들은 추정하는 부분으로 나누어져 있다. 1993년 11월 초에 발생한 자기폭풍에 이 예보코드를 적용하여 그 결과를 일본인공위성인 Geotail에 의한 태양풍관측결과와 지자기관측소에서 얻은 지자기 활동지수들과 비교하였다. 비록 많은 부분에서 아직 개선되어야할 여지가 발견되었지만 태양 플레어로 야기되는 지구근방 우주환경에 교란상태를 예측하는데 근사적이지만 본 예보모델이 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • During the past decade the world solar physics community has made significant progress in understanding the Sun and its interaction with the heliosphere and Earth's magnetosphere. NASA in coordination and cooperation with many other countries has had impressive results with the SOHO, YOHKOH, POLAR, GEOTAIL, etc spacecraft. These successes have given us a sound foundation to proceed into the new century. The two current main efforts in the U.S. are the Solar Terrestrial Probes (STP) and Living With A Star (LWS) programs. The STP program is basically science driven with new missions being selected on the basis of basic science discovery. The LWS program is focused on understanding the basic physics of solar variability and its effects on Earth systems. The current plans for these two programs are discussed.

  • Recently, Pi2 pulsations during the intervals of extremely quiet magnetospheric conditions (Kp = 0$\^$+/) have been reported by Sutcliffe and Lyons (2002). The authors observed several Pi2 bursts occurred simultaneously at high (magnetic latitude = 71$^{\circ}$) and low (42$^{\circ}$) latitudes during the absence of magnetospheric substorms and found that the bursts are strongly correlated with poleward boundary intensifications (PBIs), associated with enhancements of energetic ion fluxes observed by the Geotail satellite at Xgsm - -12 Re to -17 Re and Ygsm - 12 Re to 10 Re in the plasma sheet.
