HYDROMAGNETIC INTERPRETATION OF SUDDEN COMMENCEMENTS OF GEOMAGNETIC STORMS

Abstract

A new hydromagnetic model for the sudden commence ment (SC) of a magnetic storm is presented. The model is based on a new morphology of the SC field in which the polarization of the field is interpreted in terms of circularly polarized transverse and linearly polarized longitudinal hydromagnetic waves.
