Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We derived the index of geomagnetic pulsations from the magnetic field data observed in the inner magnetosphere by the geospace satellite. This index represents the activities of ultra-low-frequency waves with a period of less than 600 seconds. We compared the derived index with parameters such as solar wind velocity, dynamic pressure, and auroral indices. We found that the increase in wave activities during 2017-2018 is correlated with the co-rotating interaction region (CIR) where high-speed solar wind from coronal holes interacts with slow-speed solar wind. It was found that the enhancement of the index on the nightside is attributed to auroral activity.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
人工衛星の磁場観測データを用いてジオスペースに引き起こされる地磁気脈動の活動度を定量的に指数化し、使いやすい形にしたことに意義がある。この指数を用いれば、太陽風やオーロラ活動によって引き起こされる地磁気脈動の励起機構を明らかにできることを示した。地磁気脈動は、高エネルギーのプラズマが集まる領域である放射線帯の生成に寄与する側面もあるため、地磁気脈動を指数化したことは宇宙天気分野において意義があるといえる。
