Abstract The strongest event of geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) detected by the North‐West Russian GIC network occurred during main phase magnetic storm on 28 and 29 June 2013. Extremely high value, 120 A, was recorded in 330 kV transformers Kola Peninsula 04–07 local time (MLT) sector. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) spacecraft took a sequence ultraviolet (UV) auroral images southern hemisphere observed multiple omega bands. ionospheric equivalent electric based...
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) represent a significant challenge for society on stable electricity supply. Space weather activates global electromagnetic and plasma processes in the near-Earth environment, however, highest risk of GICs is related not directly to those with enormous energy yield, but too much weaker, fast, processes. Here we consider several typical examples such fast their impact power transmission lines Kola Peninsula Karelia: interplanetary shocks; traveling...
Ultralow frequency (ULF) waves in the Pc5 band have been suggested as a possible intermediary transferring energy from high‑speed streams of solar wind to magnetospheric electrons. Although ULF are not only mechanism accelerating electrons up relativistic energies, nonetheless they an essential element electron energization process, though their role has finally established yet. Among observational facts regarding interrelationships between wave activity and dynamics, we discuss following...
The St. Patrick's Day geomagnetic storm on March 17, 2015, has been chosen by the space community for synergetic analysis to build a more comprehensive picture of storm's origin and evolution. This had an unusually long (~ 17 h) main phase. During this period, many substorm-like activations occurred. These resulted in bursts geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) power lines Kola peninsula. To examine substorm detail, we apply various data processing techniques world-wide array...

We have examined multi-instrument observations of the magnetospheric and ionospheric response to interplanetary shock on January 24, 2012. Apart from various instruments, such as ground space magnetometers, photometers, riometers used earlier for a study possible shock, we additionally variations total electron content determined global navigation satellite system receivers. Worldwide magnetometer arrays detected shock-induced sudden commencement (SC) with preliminary main impulses...
Earlier studies demonstrated that the monitoring of ionospheric total electron content (TEC) by global satellite navigation systems is a powerful method to study propagation transient disturbances in ionosphere, induced internal gravity waves. This technique has turned out be sensitive enough detect signatures magnetohydrodynamic waves as well. However, effect TEC modulation ULF not well examined responsible mechanism been firmly identified. During periods with intense Pc5 distinct...
Abstract. We compare simultaneous observations of long-period ultra-low-frequency (ULF) wave activity from a Svalbard/IMAGE fluxgate magnetometer latitudinal profile covering the expected cusp geomagnetic latitudes. Irregular Pulsations at Cusp Latitudes (IPCL) and narrowband Pc5 waves are found to be ubiquitous element ULF in dayside high-latitude region. To identify ionospheric projections cusp, we use width return signal Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) radar Svalbard...

Magnetopause surface eigenmodes were suggested as a potential source of dayside high-latitude broadband pulsations in the Pc5-6 band (frequency about 1–2 mHz). However, search for ground signature these modes has not provided encouraging results. The comparison multi-instrument data from Svalbard with latitudinal structure pulsations, recorded by magnetometers covering near-cusp latitudes, shown that often maximum pulsation power occurs 2–3° deeper magnetosphere than open-closed field line...
