... Polar Cap Potential . ... The solar wind propagation delay time calculation used here is conceptually similar to the T(IMF) calculation in Kelly, et al. ... The older continuous data are from key parameter data files. ... Note: Very high values of Solar Wind Speed, Solar Wind Pressure, IMF Magnitude and Bz, and Polar Cap Potential are likely indications that WIND has reentered the Earth's magnetosphere; such data is not indicative of solar wind conditions or impending severe geomagnetic disruption. ...

. What do students in the farthest reaches of the globe dream about on the borderline of two centuries?

. To the IUM main page . We describe real simple Z-graded Lie superalgebras of vector fields with polynomial coefficients. Unlike the nonsuper case some simple complex Lie superalgebras of vector fields have more than one real form or have no real forms at all. We show that the number of real forms also depends on the Z-grading: one can not consider real forms of just an abstract vectorial Lie superalgebra! One has to indicate a grading preserved.
