The Solar Radio Burst Type II Correlated With Minor CME Contributes to The Production of Geomagnetic Disturbance

Abstract

The solar radio burst type II on 4^th November 2015 was associated with minor CME that not lead towards the Earth. This clear type II burst recorded on spectrographs detected by the antenna in several locations (Gauri, Almaty, Kasi and Ooty) were obtained from CALLISTO website. The average time of the burst occurred are around 03:24 UT until 03:28 UT with the clear minor CME emerged recorded by SOHO at 03:12 UT. Although it just a minor CME but it is still giving the effect on Earth as it contributes to geomagnetic disturbance on the Earth during that day. The affected region reported by The Local news is Sweden, where the radar system for aviation was not clear, but it is back to normal after a few hours later. This geomagnetic disturbance is powerful enough that may cause the satellite damage, endanger astronauts and produce destructive surges on power grids.
