In the region from the starting point to the first appearance of the CME, two sections are assumed, with uniform (impulsive) acceleration and with uniform motion; then, the motion is approximated by observations. At the beginning of the approximation, either the CME start time is found through the appearance of certain frequencies of radio emissions (RSTN data) and type II and IV radio emissions (sequence characteristics are determined by machine learning), or the start time is determined by averaging over the allowable takeoff area; then the polynomial-ballistic model is optimized. The first and second derivatives <i>x</i>(<i>t</i>) determine the speed and acceleration of the CME at any point of its trajectory. Such an algorithm is necessary to obtain the most accurate kinematic characteristics of CMEs, which can allow one to study the physical, spatial, and temporal relationships between flares and CMEs in all their diversity. Widely used approximation techniques simplify the real CME trajectories <i>x</i>(<i>t</i>), thereby possibly discarding important features of the CME kinematics and flare development in the posteruptive phase. The algorithm was trained and tested on 17 solar flares and associated CMEs, which are known for their powerful proton events with proton energies greater than 300 MeV. The rate of the first occurrence of CMEs turned out to be different from the average rate given in the LASCO catalog, which is important for estimating the energy of flares and CMEs. In 7 out of 17 events, there was acceleration only in the impulsive phase (and then deceleration), while acceleration in the impulsive and posteruptive phases occurred in 10 events. In 4 out of 17 events, CME velocities greater than 2000 km/s were reached at a distance of 20<i>R</i>_<i>S</i>.

The toroidal magnetic field lines rise through the turbulent convection zone, where distortions, deformation of already formed regular toroidal magnetic flux bundles and the formation of irregular, complex magnetic structures are possible. At the minimum of solar activity, the toroidal magnetic field of the old cycle disappears and the magnetic field of the new cycle is still very weak. During this period, it is possible to assess the role of the turbulence in the formation of an AR. In this paper, we analyzed ARs of two solar activity minima (between cycles 23–24 and between cycles 24–25). We analyzed ARs located within 60° from central meridian and exhibiting magnetic flux at the maximum development of at least 10²¹ Mx. Bipolar and multipolar ARs were divided into regular ones (consistent with the mean-field dynamo theory) and irregular ones, the formation of which was influenced by the turbulence of the convection zone (unipolar spots were considered separately). It was found that regular ARs significantly predominate during solar minima, their magnetic flux is a half or more of the total magnetic flux (0.6 for the first period, 0.5 for the second period). Irregular ARs are fewer in number than regular ones, and in terms of magnetic flux they make up about one-third of the total magnetic flux (0.3 and 0.2 in the first and second periods, respectively). Irregular ARs are predominantly represented by bipolar structures of improper orientation, while very complex multipolar ARs are extremely rare. It is concluded that the generation of ARs with the magnetic flux exceeding 10²¹ Mx occurs due to the global dynamo action, while the turbulence of the convection zone causes deformation of the magnetic flux bundles without significant magnetic flux generation.</p>","PeriodicalId":55597,"journal":{"name":"Geomagnetism and Aeronomy","volume":"63 8","pages":"1136 - 1143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142411955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Antarctica and the Southern Ocean make up the most important part of the Earth system. Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and most remote continent and is undergoing a variety of environmental changes in response to climate change, in particular modern warming, which is the subject of intense scientific debate. Almost all of Antarctica is located south of the Antarctic Circle (66°33′ S). The question remains as to whether the recent and accelerating warming trend is part of natural climate variability or the result of anthropogenic activities. We may not get an unambiguous answer if we do not decipher how climate processes changed in the distant past. Long-term trends (ups and downs) in continental ice deposits in the Antarctic region and in carbon dioxide content can be distinguished over the interval of approximately the last 500 Ma. Nearly 60–50 million years ago there was a long trend of decreasing carbon dioxide concentration, average temperature and lowering of the ocean level. Over the last million and hundreds of thousands of years, the history of the Earth has been characterized by alternating cycles of cold (glacial) and warm (interglacial) climatic fluctuations, which led to a number of large-scale environmental and atmospheric changes, in particular, the formation and melting of huge ice sheets, dramatic changes in global sea level, etc. This article examines long-term trends in climate change in various regions of Antarctica in the past, climate change since the end of the last ice age, and current climate change, and the relationship of these changes with the causes that give rise to them. The main attention is drawn to the changes in climatic characteristics during the Holocene and the features of changes in recent decades.

The main activity turned out to be concentrated in the 60° longitude band, whose position coincided in the northern and southern hemispheres. We obtained a synodic rotation period of the activity zone of 26.6 days, which is shorter than during the corresponding phase of the previous cycles and is probably related to the variation not only in latitude but also in the depth of the active longitude source localization. The groups of sunspots observed in the active longitude zone are characterized by a more compact latitudinal distribution and an increased number of not only large sunspots but also small ones with areas smaller than 50 Msh. Furthermore, the lifetime of small sunspots in this area is longer in contrast to similar sunspots found elsewhere on the solar surface. This indicates a common source of sunspot generation in the active longitude zone. The analysis of the rotation rate of individual sunspot groups with areas larger than 150 Msh in the active longitude zone by the solar disk showed that only a portion of them rotate at a rate close to that of the active longitude zone itself, while another portion rotate at the Carrington rate characteristic of sunspot groups outside the active longitude zone. We assume that this can be due to the different depths of the bases of the different sunspot groups and to the difference in the localization of the sunspot bases and the active longitude source. As a result, only a portion of the groups can consistently receive magnetic flux from a faster rotating source, which leads to an acceleration of their rotation.</p>","PeriodicalId":55597,"journal":{"name":"Geomagnetism and Aeronomy","volume":"63 8","pages":"1210 - 1217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142411913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The estimated ¹⁰Be depth profile can be consistent with the experimental data only if the additional (apart from the GCR) contribution of protons accelerated on the shock wave from a nearby supernova ~2.5 million years ago is taken into account. We also calculated the ⁵³Mn depth profile (with the longest half-life of those we considered), which can also be described taking the contribution of the supernova into account. We note that three long-lived isotopes, ²⁶Al, ¹⁰Be, and ⁵³Mn, with different half-lives were modeled with the same average modulation potential.

The Flux-Tube Expansion factor (FTE) is used to determine the degree of expansion of magnetic tubes. The FTE is calculated based on a model of the coronal magnetic field, usually in the potential approximation. The second input parameter of the WSA model is the distance from the base of the magnetic tube on the photosphere to the boundary of the corresponding coronal hole (Distance to the Coronal Hole Boundary, DCHB). These two parameters of the coronal magnetic field are related empirically to the speed of the solar wind near the Sun. The WSA model has shortcomings and does not fully explain the mechanisms of SW formation. This paper presents an analysis of the degree of correlation of various parameters of the magnetic field (length of field lines, latitude of the base of field lines, etc.) with the observed velocity SW. The parameters are calculated in potential (PFSS) and nonpotential approximations based on three synoptic series of magnetographic observations: the Kislovodsk Solar Telescope for Operative Predictions (STOP), SDO/HMI, and WSO. We found that the FTE correlates relatively weakly with solar wind speed, in contrast to field line lengths and DCHB. We propose an alternative relation to the WSA model that relates the length of field lines, the DCHB, and the amplitude of the magnetic field at the source surface with the velocity SW. The presented relationship is not based on the FTE and shows a better correlation with observations compared to the WSA model.
