Abstract
We analyzed intense geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) recorded during a complex space weather event observed on 23–24 April 2023. Two geomagnetic storms characterized by SYM/H intensities of −179 nT and −233 nT were caused by southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz component of −25 nT in the sheath fields, and −33 nT in the magnetic cloud (MC) fields, respectively. GIC observations were divided into two local time sectors: nighttime (1700–2400 UT on 23 April) GICs observed during the interplanetary sheath magnetic storm, and morning sector (0200–0700 UT on 24 April) GICs observed during the MC magnetic storm. By using the direct measurements of GICs on several substations of Karelian-Kola power line (located in the north-west portion of Russia) and gas pipeline station near Mäntsälä (south of Finland), we managed to trace the meridional profile of GIC increases at different latitudes. It was shown that the night sector GIC intensifications (∼18–42 A) occurred in accordance with poleward expansion of the westward electrojet during a substorm. On the other hand, the intense morning sector GICs (∼12–46 A) were caused by Ps 6 magnetic pulsations. In addition, a strong local morning GIC (∼44 A) was associated with a local substorm-like disturbance caused by a high-density solar wind structure, possibly a coronal loop portion of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection.
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.
