Greenstadt and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results of a research program extending from 1 Dec 1977 to 30 Sept 1979. The objectives of the program have been to study the relationships between geomagnetic pulsation activity in the period range 10 to 300 sec (Pc 3,4, and 5 by traditional classification) and solar wind parameters. The study has centered on two particular parameters, solar wind speed VSW and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) cone angle theta XB (the angle between the IMF and the sun-earth line) as representing the critical quantities in two models of pulsation origin.
