Solar, interplanetary and geomagnetic phenomena in March 1991 and their association with spacecraft and terrestrial problems

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:381619
The solar activity that occurred on 22 and 23 March 1991 resulted in major interplanetary and geomagnetic disturbances. In spite of measurements in the earth`s magnetosphere, near Venus, and by the Ulysses spacecraft (at 2.48 AU), it is not possible to identify unambiguously the source of each perturbation. A very powerful shock resulted in large geomagnetic disturbances and contributed to the generation of a third radiation belt, as measured by the CRRES spacecraft.
