Abstract
A variety of magnetosphere-ionosphere current systems and waves have been linked to geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) and geomagnetically induced currents (GIC). However, since many location-specific factors control GMD and GIC intensity, it is often unclear what mechanisms generate the largest GMD and GIC in different locations. We address this challenge through analysis of multi-satellite measurements and globally distributed magnetometer and GIC measurements. We find embedded within the magnetic cloud of the 23-24 April 2023 coronal mass ejection (CME) storm there was a global scale density pulse lasting for 10-20 min with compression ratio of similar to 10 ${\sim} 10$. It caused substantial dayside displacements of the bow shock and magnetopause, changes of 6RE $6{R}_{E}$ and 1.3-2RE $1.3-2{R}_{E}$, respectively, which in turn caused large amplitude GMD in the magnetosphere and on the ground across a wide local time range. At the time this global GMD was observed, GIC measured in New Zealand, Finland, Canada, and the United States were observed. The GIC were comparable (within factors of 2-2.5) to the largest ever recorded during >= ${\ge} $14 year monitoring intervals in New Zealand and Finland and represented similar to ${\sim} $2-year maxima in the United States during a period with several Kp >= ${\ge} $7 geomagnetic storms. Additionally, the GIC measurements in the USA and other mid-latitude locations exhibited wave-like fluctuations with 1-2 min period. This work suggests that large density pulses in CME should be considered an important driver of large amplitude, global GMD and among the largest GIC at mid-latitude locations, and that sampling intervals <= 10s ${\le} 10s$ are required to capture these GMD/GIC. We explore how disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field, known as geomagnetic disturbances (GMD), and the resulting geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) in power systems are influenced by different electrical currents and waves in near-Earth space. One challenge is the lack of easily accessible data on GIC over long periods, which makes it hard to figure out what factors are most responsible for changes in GIC in different places. Also, there is limited research combining data from satellites with data collected on the ground to figure out exactly how GMD and GIC are generated. To tackle these issues, we looked at data collected by multiple satellites in different parts of near-Earth space along with data from ground magnetometers and GIC measurements distributed around the world. Our results suggest that density pulses from coronal mass ejections, a particular type of structure in the solar wind, are important in causing significant disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field globally and contribute to some of the largest GIC seen in the mid-latitude region of United States. We emphasize the importance of taking measurements with high sampling rates (<= 10s) $(\le 10s)$ to accurately capture these disturbances and the resulting GIC. A density pulse embedded in a coronal mass ejection drives global geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) and geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) Measured GIC's comparable to or exceed reference values in several regions, including 58.1 A in the mid-latitude region of United States Large-amplitude density pulses are an important driver of GIC and GMD for mid-latitude regions with large populations

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
