History of Solar Storms

History of Solar Storms :


On Thursday, September 1, 1859 , Super Storm: Biggest ever observed.
December 14, 1862 - The Civil War Aurora - This aurora was seen by Civil War soldiers in Fredericksberg Virginia.
October 14, 1870 - Aurora last night: Its remarkable brilliancy
October 24, 1870 - Cleveland and Cincinnati see a 'splendid' aurora. Widely observed throughout the country, the aurora lasted two days.   & Many More

19th Century
November 1, 1903 - Telegraph systems of Western Union were affected from 2:00AM to afternoon. This was identified as most severe storm since 1888 according to Chief Electrician for WU. Transatlantic cables were also affected.
September 25, 1909 - Telegraph lines throughout US were affected. Some wires carried 500 volts of electricity and lit incandescent 'resistance lamps' in telegraph circuits. & Many More.
the Quebec blackout of March 13, 1989, when a solar storm roughly a third less powerful than the Carrington event knocked out the power grid serving more than six million customers in less than two minutes’ time.

20th Century
October 29, 2003 - The Halloween Storm - This Halloween Storm spawned auroras that were seen over most of North America. Extensive satellite problems were reported, including the loss of the $450 million Midori-2 research satellite. Highly publicized in the news media. A huge solar storm has impacted the Earth, just over 19 hours after leaving the sun. This is one of the fastest solar storm in historic times, only beaten by the perfect solar storm in 1859 which spent an estimated 17 hours in transit.

Geo-Magnetic Indices

} As we know our Earth is protected by these solar activities by its own magnetic filed shield. Which guards our planet from activities like solar winds and storms. Magnetic field is the first , where these solar activities gets into contact with our Earth’s atmosphere. Thus a deep understanding of the governing laws of these magnetic fields of Earth and impact on it by solar activities is required. Below are the definitions and Real-Time Monitoring of Various Geo-magnetic Indices:- Ø Disturbance Strom Time : The Dst index monitors the variations of the globally symmetrical ring current, which encircles the Earth close to the magnetic equator in the Van Allen (or radiation) belt of the magnetosphere. The Dst is a geomagnetic index which monitors the world wide magnetic storm level. It is constructed by averaging the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field from mid-latitude and equatorial magnetograms from all over the world. http://wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/dst_realti...

Space Weather & Solar Cycle

Image
Space weather which is governed by solar activities is the key cause of Sun-Earth interaction system. The Sun-Earth interaction significantly affects the magnetosphere- ionosphere- thermosphere system leading to diverse physical phenomena. The earth’s ionosphere is highly affected with the space weather events such as Coronal mass ejections, geomagnetic storms, solar winds and solar flares. The earth’s ionospheric parameters such as electron density, total electron content (TEC), electron and ion temperature behaves in a varied fashion to the incoming solar flux, electrodynamic drift, which makes its prediction very complicated. These parameters are found to be varying with local time, season, latitude, longitude, solar activity and with the conditions on sun and earth’s magnetic field. Recent increase in solar activities has resulted in an increased concern of the space weather community. These solar activities can lead to the major catastrophic events. It has been proven that e...
