Ground-level enhancements (GLEs) generally accompany with fast interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs), the shocks driven by which are the effective source of solar energetic particles (SEPs). In the GLE event of 2000 July 14,…

We present \emph{in situ} observations of the source regions of interplanetary (IP) type II radio bursts, using data from the Wind spacecraft during the period 1996-2002. We show the results of this survey as well as in-depth analysis of…

Forecasting the geomagnetic effects of solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is currently an unsolved problem. CMEs, responsible for the largest values of the north-south component of the interplanetary magnetic field, are the key driver of…

We study the solar energetic particle (SEP) event associated with the 2012 July 23 extreme solar storm, for which STEREO and the spacecraft at L1 provide multi-point remote sensing and in situ observations. The extreme solar storm, with a…

Solar wind-magnetosphere coupling, its causes and consequences have been studied for the last several decades. However, the assessment of continuously changing behaviour of the sun, plasma and field flows in the interplanetary space and…

We show using superposed epoch analysis (SEA) that the most energetic protons (greater than 60 MeV) in near-Earth IMF have a peak almost immediately (less than a day) after peak in solar flare index (SFI), while protons greater than 10 MeV…

An X3.4 solar flare and a fast halo coronal mass ejection (CME) occurred on 2006 December 13, accompanied by a high flux of energetic particles recorded both in near-Earth space and at ground level. Our purpose is to provide evidence of…
