During the second half of 2019, a sequence of solar wind high-speed streams (VSW ≥ 600 km/s) impacted the magnetosphere, resulting in a series of recurrent, relatively weak, geomagnetic storms (Dstmin ≥ - 80 nT). During one of these storms, a longer-lasting solar wind pressure pulse and intense substorm activity were also recorded (AL ≤ - 1600 nT on August 31 and September 1).
We use particle measurements from the Van Allen Probes, Arase and Galileo 207, 215 satellites, to investigate this event; all spacecraft observed a significant enhancement of relativistic electron fluxes. We also use ULF and chorus wave measurements, as well as interplanetary parameters, for a detailed investigation of this event and of the acceleration mechanisms involved.
