High Voltage DC Active Current Injection to Simulate Geomagnetically Induced Currents in New Zealand

open access: yesSpace Weather
This study investigates the effects of geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) on New Zealand's electrical infrastructure via an intentional ground injection of direct current (DC) from a high voltage DC converter station.

Anthropogenic Space Weather

open access: yes, 2017
Anthropogenic effects on the space environment started in the late 19th century and reached their peak in the 1960s when high-altitude nuclear explosions were carried out by the USA and the Soviet Union.

Detection of elusive Radio and Optical emission from Cosmic-ray showers in the 1960s

open access: yes, 2011
During the 1960s, a small but vibrant community of cosmic ray physicists, pioneered novel optical methods of detecting extensive air showers (EAS) in the Earth's atmosphere with the prime objective of searching for point sources of energetic cosmic gamma-

An Overview of Science Challenges Pertaining to our Understanding of Extreme Geomagnetically Induced Currents [PDF]

open access: yes
Vulnerability of man-made infrastructure to Earth-directed space weather events is a serious concern for today's technology-dependent society. Space weather-driven geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) can disrupt operation of extended electrically ...

Operational modelling of geomagnetic fields and geomagnetically induced currents

open access: yes, 2021
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) have long been known to affect power systems adversely. Modelling these GICs usually involves consideration of a chain of coupled systems. The scope of the modelling chain spans multiple disciplines, from solar physics through to geophysics and power engineering.

Characteristics of trapped proton anisotropy at Space Station Freedom altitudes [PDF]

open access: yes
The ionizing radiation dose for spacecraft in low-Earth orbit (LEO) is produced mainly by protons trapped in the Earth's magnetic field. Current data bases describing this trapped radiation environment assume the protons to have an isotropic angular ...
