A Study of Geomagnetic Storms and Associated Solar Flares
Abstract: Geomagnetic storms are temporal disturbances of the earth’s magnetosphere caused by a prolonged southward interplanetary magnetic field and usually coinciding with the arrival of coronal mass ejections (CME). Most geomagnetic storms occur under disturbed condition making it intrinsically uneasy to distinguish one geomagnetic storm from another especially in respect of solar origin. Thirty four (34) geomagnetic storms occurring between 1997 and 2012 have been studied whose storms signatures could be …

Ionospheric Disturbances and Communication Signal anomalies due to eruption of Solar flare Activity
Abstract: Solar flares tend to disrupt the radio communication systems and modulate active radio wave frequencies, particularly the ones that have utility in High Frequency (HF) radio signals and transceiver signals because they are the ones who find utility in radio communications systems. Solar flares generate electromagnetic waves which interact with the earth’s atmospheric medium and travel through the ionospheric region. These electromagnetic waves modulate radio frequency communication signals. This modulation …

Effect of Solar X-ray Flares on VLF Radio Wave Signal Strength at 19.8 and 24 kHz Received at Khatav (India) (16°46'N, 75°53'E)
Abstract: The period from August 2009 to July 2012 was an important period as 2009–10 was solar minimum period, and solar cycle was extended by 16 months during this period. In this period, solar activity like solar X-ray flares, solar wind, coronal mass ejections were at minimum level. In this research, it is focused on detailed study of response of signal strength of VLF radio waves transmitted by VLF station NWC …

Prediction of Solar Proton Events Occurrence using CMEs and Flares as Control Events
Abstract: Prediction of Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events is an important research area and helps in enabling space scientists prevent the risks and hazards for the space assets and astronauts. Several methods have been developed for predicting SEP events by means of studying the measured Solar Proton Event (SPE) in conjunction with other remote and in-situ measurements. The supporting measurements include solar soft and hard x-ray data, radio measurements, sunspot numbers, …

Understanding Geomagnetic Storms Through ACE/EPAM Data in the Recent Solar Cycle
Abstract: We share our research on the effects of geomagnetic storms on Earth's climate throughout the solar cycle. We use the Kp index value from ACE and several other observatories to comprehend the impact of the geomagnetic storm in this instance. A geomagnetic storm is indicated by a value of 5 or higher on the K-index, which uses an integer between 0 and 9 to quantify disturbances in the horizontal component …

Statistical Analysis of Geomagnetic Activity and Solar Activity Features during Solar Cycle 23 & 24
Abstract: We present a statistical analysis of the geomagnetic storm (GMSs) with the solar activity features (Sunspot number (SN), H-α flare and coronal mass ejection (CME)) during solar cycle 23 and 24. Sunspot number (SN) shows good correlation with peak values of GMSs indices (correlations coefficient R= 0.76) while CME(R=0.59) and H-α (R=0.55) show moderate correlation. So we conclude that GMSs have good correlation with solar activity features during major geomagnetic …

Modulation in CRI Due to Solar-Interplanetary Causes during 1996–2018
Abstract: AbstractSolar outputs and their variations are responsible to produce modulation in cosmic ray intensity (CRI) both on short-term as well as on long–term basis. It is seen that sunspot number; 10.7 cm sun oriented radio transition, coronal mass launches (CMEs) and sunlight based flares are the causal connect to sun oriented movement (SA). In addition, coronal mass discharges are related with an assortment of interplanetary plasma and field aggravations. In …
