Energy Dissipation during Geomagnetic Storms
Bagheri, Fatemeh (2021-12-20)Some fraction of the solar wind energy is transferred to the Earth magnetosphere and ionosphere. Sometimes this transfer of energy is exceptionally large, producing a magnetic storm. Storms occur when the Interplanetary ... -
Exploring Numerical Simulations of Localized Geomagnetic Disturbances
Vandegriff, Elizabeth; 0000-0001-8851-0301 (2023-05-08)One of the prominent effects of space weather is the formation of rapid geomagnetic field variations on Earth’s surface driven by the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. These Geomagnetic Disturbances (GMDs) cause Geomagnetically ... -
THE ARECIBO OBSERVATORY AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR INVESTIGATING ORBITAL DEBRIS
Murray, James Isaiah; 0000-0002-5400-0490 (2021-11-22)In this dissertation, the Arecibo Observatory, both past and future, as an instrument for investigating orbital debris is investigated. For over three decades, models of the orbital debris environment in low Earth orbit ... -
THE COMMISSIONING OF THE LOW FREQUENCY ALL SKY MONITOR, THE FIRST DISTRIBUTED PHASED ARRAY TELESCOPE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO SEARCH FOR RADIO TRANSIENTS AT LONG WAVELENGTHS
Dartez, Louis Percy; 0000-0002-2216-0465 (2021-05-15)The last two decades have seen a proliferation in the development of technology for low frequency radio astronomy based upon phased elements grouped into one or more large stations. Instruments fielding multiple large ...
