1 Radiation Storms in the Near Space Environment Mikhail Panasyuk, Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of Lomonosov Moscow State University

2 Solar storms, Radiation storms, Geomagnetic storms Intensification of solar activity

3 Radiation storms in several 100’s keV particles flux variations

4 Topics to search Where are these guys from? - radiation belt; - SEP events; - ionosphere What kind of physical mechanisms for acceleration and transport are dominated during extreme events? - radial diffusion; - local rapid acceleration; - injection ; - local losses

5 Galactic cosmic rays Solar energetic particles Radiation belts Earth’s radiation environment

6 SONG (Solar Neutrons and Gamma- rays) MKL (Monitor of the cosmic rays) SKI-3 (Cosmic ray nuclei detector) Energetic particles instruments onboard Coronas-F

19 SEP penetration

20 October- November’03 Radiation Storm SEP penetration at low altitudes – low-latitude boundary of SEP penetration bb Satellite’s orbit SEP

25 October- November’03 Radiation Storm SEP penetration at low altitudes MLT - dependence MorningEvening MorningEvening Kp Dst Neither Kp or Dst indexes are not representative for a global distribution of SEP penetration

26 October- November’03 Radiation Storm SEP penetration at low altitudes Coronas-Fdata, Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics Variation of proton penetration boundary during isolated substorm Substorm activity as a regulator of SEP’s penetration

27 Radiation belts Earth’s radiation environment

28 October- November Radiation Storm Electron radiation belts Radiation belt dynamics Dynamics of relativistic electron belts

29 October- November Radiation Storm Coronas-F data, Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics Energetic electrons & protons dynamics /Coronas F data Redistribution plus acceleration of energetic radiation inside the traping region Oct.,29 Oct.,28 Electron radiation belts Inward movement of RB

30 Electron belt variations 3 phases: SEE injection, depletion, then new RB formation

31 SEP trapping

32 Ejection of SEP inside the RB really exists Solar energetic particles as a source of RB population 10 MeV protons There are some doubts that this source is important for the quiet-time structure of the RB

33 Solar energetic particles as a source of RB population One should expect the life-time of SEP particles to be very small because of their high rigidity (see Alfven criteria). Therefore, the probability of observing SEP particles inside the RB is small Criteria for stable trapping:  L /  M ~  L  B  /B=  <<1  L - larmour radius,  M –magnetic field line curvature, B - magnetic field magnitude

34 Proton belt variations The new proton belts 6-12.11.03 23-30.11.03 Impulsive acceleration or nonadiabatic process? > 1MeV >14 MeV

35 Proton belt variations 2 phases: -SEP injection, then -new proton belt formation

36 Proton belt variations 3 phases: -SEP injection, -depletion, then -new proton belt formation

37 Geostationary radiation storms vs LEO polar radiation storms

38 Coronas-F Daily averaged data

39 GOESInner zone Solar protons cause radiation storms at LEO

40 Intensity of radiation storm at LEO polar orbits on daily averaged time scale is mainly dependent on SEP penetration at low latitudes than on effects of RB’s particles redistribution or (and) acceleration at low latitudes

53 Conclusions 1.Solar extreme events (SEE) can really cause the drastic changes in the earth’s radiation environment, but their value depends on their geoefficiency

54 Bengin,et al,1992 Mir doses during the solar flares Doses increased in several times because of penetration of SEP at LEO. Kp «Mir» data October 19, 1989 :
