Effect of large-scale disturbances of the solar wind on the dynamics of relativistic electrons of the outer radiation belt

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The relationship of increases in the intensities of electrons in the outer magnetosphere and large-scale disturbances of the solar wind is studied with measurements of fluxes of energetic (E/sub e/ approx. 1 MeV) electrons made on the satellites Prognoz-6, -7, and Raduga. It is shown that the effect of high-speed solar wind fluxes on the geomagnetosphere involves the acceleration of electrons near the magnetopause and the enhancement of charged-particle transport into the magnetosphere from the boundary.
