Response of geomagnetic variations and 30 MHz riometer absorption, at Indian Antarctic station MAITRI, to conditions of “zero” and “high” solar wind
Variations in the 30 MHz cosmic radio noise signal, and in the Y, X, Z fluxgate magnetometer traces recorded at the Indian Antarctic station MAITRI (geom. 62°.8 S, 52°.8 E, L = 4.8) are compared for the “zero solar wind” day of 11 May 1999 (ΣKp = 20), the very Quiet day 22 Dec 1999 (ΣKp = 10), and t...
