| Zusammenfassung |
| By analyzing the logarithmic relationship between geomagnetic
activity as represented by the annual aa index and solar
magnetic field activity as represented by the annual sunspot
number (Rz) during the period 1844–2010, aa is
shown to lie in between two lines defined solely by
Rz. Two ways can be used to decompose the aa index
into two components. One is decomposing aa into the sum of the
baseline (aab) and the remainder (aau)
with a null correlation. Another is dividing the top-line
(aat) into the sum of aa and the remainder
(aad) with a null correlation. The first decomposition
is similar to the traditional one. The second decomposition
implies a nonlinear relationship of aa with Rz
(aat) and a decay process (aad).
Therefore,
aat=aa+aad=aab+aau+aad:
(i) aat is related to the solar energy potential of
generating geomagnetic activity (associated with Rz);
(ii) aab is related to transient phenomena; (iii)
aau is related to recurrent phenomena; and (iv)
aad is related to the energy loss in the transmission
from solar surface to the magnetosphere and ionosphere that failed
to generate geomagnetic activity. |
