Magnetospheric and Geomagnetic Activity during the First Year (1979) of the SCATHA (P78-2) Satellite Operation.
Abstract
This report consists of two parts. The first is a comprehensive analysis of the geomagnetic field variations observed by several networks of ground-based stations to monitor the magnetospheric conditions during the first year of the SCATHA satellite operation in 1979, together with the determination of the most disturbed and quietest days during the 1979 period. The second part is a summary of the scientific results in the investigation of polar region electron precipitations based on USAF DMSP observations. The daily graphs and listing of 1.0 minute auroral electrojet activity index (AE) constructed from three networks of the magnetic field observations over the Northern American Continent are illustrated as Appendices 2 and 3, respectively.
