| 内容記述 | Separate studies using the same micropulsation data base in the period range 10-150 s have shown earlier that signal levels recorded during September, October, and November 1969 at Calgary correlated positively with both solar-wind alignment of the IMF and solar-wind speed, but each correlation contained enough scatter to allow for the influence of the other factor. In this report, joint correlations of velocity and field direction with parameters representing hourly distributions rather than minima of IMF orientation angle display the relative effect of the two agents on magnetic pulsation signal levels. The joint correlations reduce the overall scatter and show that solar-wind speeds above 200-300 km/s and angles between the IMF and the sun-earth line of less than 50-60 deg are associated with enlarged magnetic pulsation amplitudes. These threshold effects tend to support both the bow-shock origin and the Kelvin-Helmholtz amplification of daytime signal transients in the Pc 3, 4 period ranges. |
