Zusammenfassung |
A new mechanism of the
atmosphere-magnetosphere interaction, which might be called
"acoustic-magnetospheric cyclotron accelerator", is proposed. The idea
of this mechanism stems from the fact that strong acoustical perturbations in
the ionosphere (e.g., due to earthquakes, thunderstorms, etc.) may generate
magnetic disturbances in the magnetosphere. Then, the latter will induce local
resonant acceleration and subsequent inward diffusion of trapped particles. This
idea may be fruitful in the interpretation of some occasional increases in inner
zone particle fluxes which do not correlate with the solar or magnetospheric
activities.
Key words. Ionosphere (active experiments;
ionosphere-atmosphere interactions; particle acceleration) |
