Geomagnetically Induced Currents at Middle Latitudes: 1. Quiet‐Time Variability
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) at middle latitudes have received increased attention after reported power grid disruptions due to geomagnetic disturbances. However, quantifying the risk to the electric power grid at middle latitudes is difficult

First E region observations of mesoscale neutral wind interaction with auroral arcs [PDF]
We report the first observations of E region neutral wind fields and their interaction with auroral arcs at mesoscale spatial resolution during geomagnetically quiet conditions at Mawson, Antarctica.

Assessment of Geomagnetically Induced Currents Impact on Power Grid Modelling
Recent history demonstrates that threat has no borders, though risk does, due to national and regional differences in vulnerabilities and exposure landscapes. The difference between well and poorly managed threat is striking.

Geomagnetically Induced Currents over Kazakhstan during Large Geomagnetic Storms
Abstract Extreme solar events, such as flares accompanied by the ejection of a powerful magnetic cloud, cause perturbation of the Earth's magnetic field and form fluctuating currents in the ionosphere and magnetosphere. One of the negative consequences of extreme solar phenomena for technological systems is the appearance of geomagnetically ...

Modelling geomagnetically induced currents in midlatitude Central Europe using a thin-sheet approach [PDF]
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in power systems, which can lead to transformer damage over the short and the long term, are a result of space weather events and geomagnetic variations. For a long time, only high-latitude areas were considered to

In this study, we perform three‐dimensional (3‐D) ground electric field (GEF) modeling in Fennoscandia for three days of the Halloween geomagnetic storm (29–31 October 2003) using magnetic field data from the International Monitor for Auroral Geomagnetic

Continental scale modelling of geomagnetically induced currents
The EURISGIC project (European Risk from Geomagnetically Induced Currents) aims at deriving statistics of geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) in the European high-voltage power grids.

Geomagnetically Induced Currents: Frequency Spectra and Threats to Voltage Stability
Geomagnetically induced currents are induced after a complex interaction between the sun and earth’s magnetic field. GICs may cripple power systems leading to voltage collapse and a drop in power quality.

Nuclear Magnetohydrodynamic EMP, Solar Storms, and Substorms
In addition to a fast electromagnetic pulse (EMP), a high altitude nuclear burst produces a relatively slow magnetohydrodynarnic EMP (MHD EMP), whose effects are like those from solar storm geomagnetically induced currents (SS GIC).
