Event 1 had an associated storm initial phase with peak Dst=+9 nT. This was caused by a high plasma density heliospheric plasma sheet (HPS) which impacted the magnetosphere. The southward component of IMF Bz fluctuations in the corotating interaction regions (CIRs) of both Events 1 and 2 led to peak storm main phases of Dst=−85 and −62 nT, respectively. The extended storm ¡°recovery¡± phases were associated with ¦¤B/Bo 1¨C2 Alfv¨¦nic fluctuations in the HSS proper. High-intensity, long-duration, continuous AE (HILDCAA) intervals were present, presumably due to the southward component of the Alfv¨¦n waves. The IMF Bx¨CVx 4-h cross-correlation values were >0.8 in Event 2, and lower, >0.6, in Event 1. The difference in Alfv¨¦nicity between the two HSS events is not understood at present. The IMF Bz 10-min to 3-h variances and are highest during the CIRs. The normalized variances during the HSS proper are approximately the same as those for the CIRs. For Event 1, the 1-h IMF and are 5.0 nT2 and 1.1¡Á10−1, respectively. The IMF Bz-AE cross-correlation (c.c.) coefficients during the storm main phase of Event 1 and for 24-h of the HSS of Event 2 give similar results. For the Event 1, a peak c.c. of −0.4 occurred with a lag of 103 min, and for Event 2 a peak c.c of −0.38 with a lag of 67 min was obtained. Both c.c. results were sharply peaked. The decay-portion of a HSS prior to Event 1 was characterized by low Np, low Bo and low Alfv¨¦n wave amplitudes. The 1-h IMF and were 0.84 nT2 and 2.9¡Á10−2, respectively. This quiet interplanetary interval led to a quiet geomagnetic activity period (AE<100 nT, Dst +5 nT). On the other hand, what is quite surprising is that this region was the most purely ¡°Alfv¨¦nic¡± interval studied (c.c. of Bx-Vx=0.95).The ¦Å parameter was calculated using both GSE and GSM coordinates. It was found that ¦Å is 30% larger for GSM coordinates. Thus, the major cause of geomagnetic activity during HSSs is the large amplitude Alfv¨¦n waves but not coordinate transformations. Sector polarities (IMF By values) may be a secondary factor. However, other models, like the tilted solar dipole, should be considered as well. %@mirrorrepository sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19@80/2009/08.21.17.02.53 %8 Jan. %N 1 %T The properties of two solar wind high speed streams and related geomagnetic activity during the declining phase of solar cycle 23 %@secondarytype PRE PI %K High speed solar wind streams, Interplanetary Alfvenicity, Geomagnetic activity, HILDCAAs. %@archivingpolicy denypublisher denyfinaldraft24 %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup marciana %@usergroup simone %@group %@group DGE-CEA-INPE-MCT-BR %@group %@group DAS-CEA-INPE-MCT-BR %3 the properties of two solar.pdf %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@secondarymark B2_ASTRONOMIA_/_FÍSICA B1_CIÊNCIAS_BIOLÓGICAS_I B1_ECOLOGIA_E_MEIO_AMBIENTE B1_ENGENHARIAS_IV B1_GEOCIÊNCIAS A2_INTERDISCIPLINAR %@issn 1364-6826 %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19@80/2010/06.01.14.06.29 %@affiliation CALTECH, Jet Prop Lab, Pasadena, CA 91125 USA %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Universidade do Vale do Paraiba (UNIVAP) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics %@versiontype publisher %P 164-177 %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19@80/2010/06.01.14.06 %@documentstage not transferred %D 2011 %V 73 %@doi 10.1016/j.jastp.2010.04.003 %A Tsurutani, Bruce T., %A Echer, Ezequiel, %A Guarnieri, Fernando L., %A Gonzalez Alarcon, Walter Demétrio, %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES; AGU; MGA; COMPENDEX. %@area CEA
