Allowance for the Geometry of Solar Wind Interaction with the Earth's Magnetic Field in Geoeffective Parameters and in the Prediction of Geomagnetic Activity

摘要

We suggest geoeffective independent parameters that can be calculated on the basis of conventional measurements of the solar wind, which allows them to be used to forecast space weather. We present the results of our analysis of the ground variations in planetary geomagnetic activity (K_p) and geoeffective parameters calculated on the basis of solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field measurements in the Earth's orbit for the period 1964-1996 by taking into account the change in the orientation of the geomagnetic moment during the Earth's diurnal and annual motions.
