Simple Tools for Detecting & Predicting Anomalies in Terrestrial
Environment caused by Sun
Abstract
Though spurious geomagnetic activity lead to terrestrial storms, which
in turn impacts space weather as a result of interaction between Solar
wind (SW) plasma carried by Solar wind moving towards Earth due to
Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and interplanetary magnetic field, the
interplay linking the Solar plasma to the Earth’s magnetic field is yet
to be understood thoroughly, and hence modelling the space weather is
still perceived as a challenge. To address this issue, we resort to
geometrical analysis of the phenomena using state-of-the-art Multi
Fractal Analysis (MFA) techniques as well as Wavelet Transforms of SW
and Earth’s magnetic field parameters during the period starting from
few days before up to few days after the last Solar Eclipse on June 21,
2020, in order to predict abnormal behaviour in terrestrial environment,
may or may not be leading to geomagnetic storms, well before the
occurrence of the event.
