Abstract
Abstract We propose a novel approach to model the ground electric field (GEF) induced by laterally‐nonuniform ionospheric sources in real time. The approach exploits the multi‐site transfer function concept, continuous magnetic field measurements at multiple sites in the region of interest, and spatial modes describing the ionospheric source. We compared the modeled GEFs with those measured at two locations in Fennoscandia and observed good agreement between modeled and measured GEF. Besides, we compared GEF‐based geomagnetically induced current (GIC) with that measured at the Mäntsälä natural gas pipeline recording point and again observed remarkable agreement between modeled and measured GIC.
期刊介绍:
Space Weather: The International Journal of Research and Applications (SWE) is devoted to understanding and forecasting space weather. The scope of understanding and forecasting includes: origins, propagation and interactions of solar-produced processes within geospace; interactions in Earth’s space-atmosphere interface region produced by disturbances from above and below; influences of cosmic rays on humans, hardware, and signals; and comparisons of these types of interactions and influences with the atmospheres of neighboring planets and Earth’s moon. Manuscripts should emphasize impacts on technical systems including telecommunications, transportation, electric power, satellite navigation, avionics/spacecraft design and operations, human spaceflight, and other systems. Manuscripts that describe models or space environment climatology should clearly state how the results can be applied.
