Does the Van Allen Belt dipping closer to the Earth at the South Atlantic Anomaly mean the Earth's surface underneath (like South-Eastern Brazil) is more exposed to solar storms..?
My terminology might be slightly-off here: do Singular proton events (SPEs) affect the SAA area more as the magnetic field is weaker & so the protons remain concentrated here. If SPEs affect the ozone reducing it & combined with less distance (closer) to begin with would these lead the SAA area more vunerable to (successive) solar storms (e.g. CMEs)?
If this seems a long shot it’s because it is! Please direct or recommmend me reading...
Thanks
Secondly...
Does the GeoDynamo Theory of the Earth's magnetosphere still carry general consensus? I read briefly the concept of 'magnetic integration' whereby the fields generated only at the Earth's surface integrate into a global field - I found this quite elegant...
