Abstract
We study plasma parameters with geomagnetic indices for intense geo storms with Dst < −200 nT during the 25 solar cycle. Using planetary index (Kp) 3 h data, symmetric index (SYM/H) minute resolution data, and solar plasma measurements from multiple satellites, examine the connection of significant events of space weather that occurred on 24 April 2023 with past Geostorm occurred on 23 and 24 cycles. The statistical correlation and time series analysis study examined the relationship between plasma parameters and geomagnetic indices during major geomagnetic storms on April 24, 2023. The correlation (Cr) between solar wind (SW) pressure and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) B and Kp, SW speed, and SYM/H have a strong positive correlation (Cr > 0.70). The findings will provide valuable insights into the relationships between interplanetary conditions and space weather dynamics, contributing to the broader understanding of Space Weather dynamics.
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.
