Velocities in quiet coronal regions, coronal loops, coronal holes, and cavities around quiescent prominences are analyzed. Data based on interferometric observations of several total solar eclipses obtained earlier by the authors and in addition the values of turbulent velocities resulting from revising the 5303 line profiles were used. Published data based both on ground and space observations in visual and far ultraviolet (UV) spectral region are collected. The turbulent velocities in quiet loop structures and diffuse quiet corona seem to be similar, and the coronal plasma in the vicinity of the quiet protuberances is less turbulent than in the quiet corona or in the coronal holes. Velocities of directed motions for different structures in the corona are examined. It seems that the turbulent velocities are comparable by their magnitudes with the direct plasma velocities; however, at the same time they are slightly less.","PeriodicalId":135868,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116433601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Apz index determines the area of the polar zone occupied by the magnetic field of one polarity, and A(t) is the sum of squares of dipole and octupole magnetic moments. The L(t) index is the total length of magnetic neutral lines on the Hα synoptic chart, and K(t) characterizes the complexity of the topology pattern of the general magnetic field of the Sun. It is determined by the inverse number of crossings of neutral lines with the meridian net on the Hα chart. The R(t) index characterizes the correlation factor of the magnetic field polarities in the latitude zones ±40◦. The solar rotation index SSPD(t) is determined by the sum of the spectral density of the power of the magnetic field sector structures. The area of the Ca II K bright points at high latitudes is the SK(t) index. It has been shown that the 11-year cycles of Apz(t), A(t), L(t), K(t), R(t), SSPD(t), and SK(t) have maxima at the sunspot activity minimum and that they are ahead of the cycles of Wolf numbers, W (t), by 5–6 years.","PeriodicalId":135868,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127525407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flare began at 2148:49 UT and was measured by the IRIS spectrometer on board the CORONAS-F spacecraft. High sensitivity of the device made it possible to detect in the flare X-ray emission a pulse structure with timescale of the order of tens of milliseconds. Similarly, spike structure was observed on board of Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. A quasiperiodic structure with a magnitude of the order of 10 s was revealed by means of spectral time analysis. This structure can be explained by magnetohydrodynamic sausage-mode oscillations generated in the flare loop with the characteristic parameters of the plasma of the coronal region of the solar atmosphere. The evolution of the energetic spectrum of the hard X-ray emission of this flare with the resolution of 1 s during the entire event is studied.","PeriodicalId":135868,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130067268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The values of the maximum observed frequency (MOF) are calculated using the IRI 2001 model and the effective sunspot number Weff . It is shown that the difference between the predicted and measured monthly mean values does not exceed 12%. It is found that at all propagation paths, quasiperiodic variations of MOF are almost always observed. The amplitude of the MOF variations in the daytime can reach 2 MHz. A spectral analysis of the MOF variations at the midlatitude paths Cyprus– Rostov-on-Don and Inskip–Rostov-on-Don is performed. It is shown that the spectra of the MOF fluctuations have a well-pronounced linear structure. The power of spectral components of MOF fluctuations is concentrated in the 20–90 min range. Analyzing the dynamics of motion of z-type features on a trace of the high-angle ray, the periods of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TID) are determined and found to be 15–30 min. It is found that the TID with such periods correlate well with the sunset and sunrise for the middle point of the path. Modeling of oblique sounding (OS) ionograms at the presence of TID is performed taking into account the procedure of LFM signal processing. On the basis of the comparison of the experimental and calculated data, parameters of middle-scale wave disturbances responsible for the formation of z-type features in OS ionograms are determined.","PeriodicalId":135868,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114168109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the location of the emitters in the field of applicability of the quasi-longitudinal approximation, this relation is described by simple analytical expressions. Some results of calculations characterizing the eciency of waveguide excitation by horizontal and radial dipoles and applicability of approximate formulae are presented.
