How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Based on measurements of magnetospheric electron fluxes with energies >2 MeV in geostationary orbits, solar wind (SW) velocity, and geomagnetic activity for the period 1995–2023, a catalogue of electron flux enhancements (with fluence exceeding 108 particles cm−2 st−1 d−1) has been compiled. For the events of this catalogue, interplanetary disturbances have been determined, after which high-energy electron fluxes (HEEF) begin to increase, and their solar sources have been established. It is found that in 97.2 per cent of cases, one of the solar sources of interplanetary disturbances that led to electron flux increases were high-speed streams from coronal holes (HSSs from CHs), in particular only HSSs from CHs were observed in 52.5 per cent of events, and in the remaining cases, HSSs from CHs were observed together with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) after solar flares and/or filaments disappearance. The average behaviour of the HEEF, SW velocity, and geomagnetic activity indices for events associated with the arrival of an HSS from CH to the Earth is obtained. It is shown that electron flux enhancements events associated with interplanetary disturbances from HSSs from CHs and from CMEs differ in duration and maximum electron fluence.
