Description

Long-period (more than 20 min) quasi-periodic pulsations (QPP) occurring in the Earth's magnetic field (EMF) before the proton flare are studied by the method of spectral correlation analysis of geomagnetic field H-component. The corresponding data have been obtained at six stations located from 12041'E up to 180052'E and from 52004'N up to 68052'N. QPP space-time distribution is shown to be correlated with that of the Earth's ionosphere current systems. The results obtained indicate that QPP of the EMF are influenced by QPP of the solar X-ray and ultraviolet radiation modulated by oscillation processes in the active solar region. (author)
