Abstract
This study investigates the extreme geomagnetic storm of May 10–15, 2024, utilizing data from the SER ground-based station in Chile and the DSCOVR satellite. The methodology involves calculating the horizontal magnetic field (H), filtering geomagnetic data using a Butterworth filter, and conducting cross-correlation analysis between solar wind parameters and Pc5 pulsations. The storm, starting with a sudden storm commencement triggered by a coronal mass ejection around 18:00 UT on May 10, exhibited a main phase lasting about 8 h, followed by a recovery phase starting on May 11. The extreme storm exhibited abrupt fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field data and solar wind parameters, inducing a depression in the geomagnetic field H-component reaching ΔH ∼ −551 nT at the SER station. Throughout the storm, solar wind parameters such as density, speed, and temperature exhibited varied ranges, with significant changes observed in all storm phases. Notably, during the initial and main phases, cross-correlation analysis unveiled robust associations between Pc5 pulsations and solar wind parameters such as density and speed, with maximum R values reaching 0.98 for both phases.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (JASTP) is an international journal concerned with the inter-disciplinary science of the Earth''s atmospheric and space environment, especially the highly varied and highly variable physical phenomena that occur in this natural laboratory and the processes that couple them.
The journal covers the physical processes operating in the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, the Sun, interplanetary medium, and heliosphere. Phenomena occurring in other "spheres", solar influences on climate, and supporting laboratory measurements are also considered. The journal deals especially with the coupling between the different regions.
Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other energetic events on the Sun create interesting and important perturbations in the near-Earth space environment. The physics of such "space weather" is central to the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics and the journal welcomes papers that lead in the direction of a predictive understanding of the coupled system. Regarding the upper atmosphere, the subjects of aeronomy, geomagnetism and geoelectricity, auroral phenomena, radio wave propagation, and plasma instabilities, are examples within the broad field of solar-terrestrial physics which emphasise the energy exchange between the solar wind, the magnetospheric and ionospheric plasmas, and the neutral gas. In the lower atmosphere, topics covered range from mesoscale to global scale dynamics, to atmospheric electricity, lightning and its effects, and to anthropogenic changes.
