Research on Prediction Techniques for the Time Dependence of Solar Particle Events and Geomagnetic Activity From Results of Synoptic Analysis of Solar and Interplanetary Particle, Plasma and Field Observations.
Abstract
A total of eight scientific techniques have been investigated as an aid for prediction of solar energetic particle events and geomagnetic storms; (1) Synoptic analysis of interplanetary data; (2) H sub ALPHA synoptic charts of low coronal magnetic structure; (3) Solar wind mapping of high coronal emission longitude of solar wind plasma and large-scale interplanetary magnetic field lines; (4) Analysis of energetic particle propagation; (5) Intercomparison of data from separated spacecraft; (6) Charts of solar optical, radio and x-ray activity; (7) Synthesis of solar and interplanetary data; and (8) Integration of interplanetary radio scintillation observations. The progress made in these techniques and their applications is reviewed and evaluated. Based on these results, new recommendations are offered for prediction and operational forecasting. (Author)
