Problems in the Forecasting of Solar Particle Events for Manned Missions

Manned spaecraft will require a much improved ability to forecast solar particle events. The lead time required will depend on the use to which the forecast is put. Here we discuss problems of forecasting with the lead times of hours to weeks.

Proton Fluence Prediction Models

Many spacecraft anomalies are caused by positively charged high energy particles impinging on the vehicle and its component parts. Here we review the current knowledge of the interplanetary particle environment in the energy ranges that are most important for these effects, 10 to 100 MeV/amu. The emphasis is on the particle environment at 1 AU. State-of-the-art engineering models are briefly described along with comments on the future work required in this field.

(abstract) A Geomagnetic Contribution to Climate Change in this Century

There is a myth that all solar effects can be parameterized by the sun spot number. This is not true. For example, the level of geomagnetic activity during this century was not proportional to the sunspot number. Instead there is a large systematic increase in geomagnetic activity, not reflected in the sunspot number. This increase occurred gradually over at least 60 years. The 11 year solar cycle variation was superimposed on this systematic increase. Here we show that this systematic increase in activity is well correlated to the simultaneous increase in terrestrial temperature that occurred during the first half of this century. We discuss these findings in terms of mechanisms by which geomagnetics can be coupled to climate. These mechanisms include possible changes in weather patterns and cloud cover due to increased cosmic ray fluxes, or to increased fluxes of high energy electrons. We suggest that this systematic increase in geomagnetic activity contributed (along with anthropogenic effects and possible changes in solar irradiance) to the changes in climate recorded during this period.

Evolving Magnetic Structures and Their Relation to Coronal Mass Ejections

Solar activity regions are frequently concentrated into cluster which persist for many solar rotations. These activity complexes are associated with weak dispersed magnetic fields which are most apparent after the activity itself has ceased. We call this combination of persistent activity and dispersed Evolving Magnetic Structures (EMS). Here we show examples of EMSs and describe the evolution of an EMS associated with major Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) and other solar and magnetic disturbances.

Coronal Mass Ejections and Solar Proton Events During the Great March 1989 Disturbances

The great active region of March 1989 was the most prolific in X- rays in the preceding 15 years, and produced very large bright optical solar flares. The accompanying solar energetic particle event was one of the four most intense episodes since 1963. These increases in particle fluxes are compared to the major X-ray and optical flares and to the major coronal mass ejections in order to test hypothesis.

High Energy Charged Particles in Space at One Astronomical Unit

Single event effects and many other spacecraft anomalies are caused by positively charged high energy particles impinging on the vehicle and its component parts. Reviewed here are the current knowledge of the interplanetary particle environment in the energy ranges that are most important for these effects. State-of-the-art engineering models are briefly described along with comments on the future work required.

Interplanetary Proton Model: JPL 1991

This study was carried out to increase the acuracy and energy range of predictive models of interplanetary proton fluences. Such an estimate is often needed when spacecraft spend a signigicant amount of time in the interplanetary environmnet.

The Swelling and Destabilization of a Coronal Mass Ejection (abstract)

We will present and discuss data for a bugle that was particularly well observed. Apparently the swelling of the bugle and its destabilization were caused by the newly emerging flux and its interaction with the pre-existing active regions and coronal structures.
