Abstract:
High energy particles originating from solar eruptive phenomena (flares, eruptive prominences and coronal mass ejections), as well as from other solar sources (coronal holes) can produce geomagnetic disturbances on Earth if they arrive to and interact with the magnetosphere. They affect, directly or indirectly, not only the terrestrial magnetic field, but also the entire environment, from the outer atmospheric layer to the ground, perturbing satellites, telecommunication systems, ground networks, and producing biological and climatic disturbances, too.
