LARGE-SCALE ELECTRON BOMBARDMENT OF THE ATMOSPHERE AT THE SUDDEN COMMENCEMENT OF A GEOMAGNETIC STORM

Journal Article · · J. Geophys. Research
A burst of x rays was observed at balloon altitude over Alaska with the onset of a sudden commencement geomagnetic storm at 0146 UT on June 27, 1960. The electron bombardment of the upper atmosphere that gave rise to the x rays occurred on a large scale, ionospheric absorption coincident with the x-ray burst being observed by riometers in Alaska, Sweden and Norway.
