RESEARCH ON GEOEFFECTIVENESS OF HELIOSPHERIC PERTURBATIONS

ro eng

 

 
 

 

OBJECTIVES

 

a) studying the CMEs associated with solar flares which are directed towards the Earth, their source on the solar disk, the mechanism of initiation;

b) determining the real direction of propagation and the real speed of CMEs.

c) comparing the near-Sun signatures with in-situ signatures;

d) assessing the response of the magnetosphere, via geomagnetic indices, to CMEs hitting the Earth environment;

e) developing an empirical model in order to predict the arrival time of CMEs to the Earth.
