Prominent excursions in the number of cosmogenic nuclides (e.g., 10Be) around 774 CE/775 document the most severe solar proton event (SPE) throughout the Holocene. Its manifestation in ice cores is valuable for geochronology, but also for solar-terrestrial physics and climate modeling. Using the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) climate model in combination with the Warning System for Aviation Exposure to SEP (WASAVIES), we investigate the transport, mixing, and deposition of the cosmogenic nuclide 10Be produced by the 774 CE/775 SPE. By comparing the model results to the reconstructed 10Be time series from four ice core records, we study the atmospheric pathways of 10Be from its stratospheric source to its sink at Earth's surface. The reconstructed post-SPE evolution of the 10Be surface fluxes at the ice core sites is well captured by the model. The downward transport of the 10Be atoms is controlled by the Brewer-Dobson circulation in the stratosphere and cross-tropopause transport via tropopause folds or large-scale sinking. Clear hemispheric differences in the transport and deposition processes are identified. In both polar regions the 10Be surface fluxes peak in summertime, with a larger influence of wet deposition on the seasonal 10Be surface flux in Greenland than in Antarctica. Differences in the peak 10Be surface flux following the 774 CE/775 SPE at the drilling sites are explained by specific meteorological conditions depending on the geographic locations of the sites.

Cosmogenic nuclides in tree rings and polar ice cores record the information of past cosmic ray intensities and solar activities. A large 14C increase over 10 years has been discovered around 5480 BCE. The 14C variations in this event differ from those of other short-term cosmic ray events and typical grand solar minima. To elucidate the cause of the 14C increase around 5480 BCE, we measured the 10Be and 36Cl concentrations in the Antarctic Dome Fuji ice core at quasi-annual and 4–5 years resolutions, respectively. Based on the combined 14C, 10Be, and 36Cl data, the 5480 BCE event was probably not caused by a solar proton event (SPE) or a gamma-ray event, because the 36Cl concentration did not significantly increase as expected in these events. The incremented 10Be data were enhanced similarly to those of recent grand solar minima, but more rapidly increased (over ∼10 years). These results suggest that an unusual grand solar minimum occurred around 5480 BCE, characterized by a rapidly decreasing solar activity.

Ion-induced nucleation by cosmic rays influenced by solar modulation is of interest, and several studies with radioactive sources or accelerator beams have been performed. We focused on ionization with high-linear energy transfer (LET) particles, such as protons, neutrons, and ions, in secondary cosmic rays and the ion density of the secondary cosmic rays near the ground using the excel-based program for calculating atmospheric cosmic-ray spectrum (EXPACS). According to the calculation, not only muons but also protons and neutrons leave substantial traces of solar modulation at an altitude of 3 km from the ground. To verify the ion-induced nucleation by these secondary high-LET cosmic rays, a chamber experiment was conducted at the accelerator facility HIMAC. Using a chamber with a capacity of 75 L, experiments were conducted by irradiating protons and nitrogen ion beams with a constant energy of 180 MeV/u with varying intensity. The experimental results confirm that the ion density and aerosol density increased as the beam intensity increased. The aerosol density was found to be proportional to the ion density, but irrelevant to the ionization density. It was concluded that the ion-induced nucleation by high-LET secondary cosmic rays, such as protons and neutrons, provides no evidence of enhancement owing to ionization density and cannot account for the claimed variation of cloud formation due to the solar modulation.

Cosmogenic Evidence for Past SEP Events

Proceedings of Science Vol. 358 2021.7

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Proceedings of Science

Terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides (e.g., 14C, 10Be, and 36Cl) are primarily produced by galactic cosmic rays. However, a certain amount of these nuclides is also produced by solar energetic particles (SEPs) derived from sporadic solar events such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Cosmic ray increase events in AD 774/775, AD 993/994 (or AD 992/993), and ~BC 660 have been discovered using 14C data in tree rings (Miyake et al. 2012, 2013; Park et al. 2017). It is considered that the most plausible cause of these events was an extreme SEP events with very hard energy spectra based on 14C analyses of tree rings and 10Be and 36Cl analyses of ice cores (e.g., Mekhaldi et al. 2015; Miyake et al. 2015, 2019; Büntgen et al. 2018; O'Hare et al. 2019). These SEP events are estimated to be several dozens of times larger than the largest events seen in direct observations, and an event of that size might have a serious impact on modern society. Therefore, it is important to investigate the occurrence rate of past extreme events. In recent years, surveys of past SEP events have been actively conducted via cosmogenic nuclide measurements with high time resolution (~one-year resolution). Here the detected past SEP candidates and a further survey of similar events are reviewed.

© 2020 Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved. The radiocarbon (C) calibration curve so far contains annually resolved data only for a short period of time. With accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) matching the precision of decay counting, it is now possible to efficiently produce large datasets of annual resolution for calibration purposes using small amounts of wood. The radiocarbon intercomparison on single-year tree-ring samples presented here is the first to investigate specifically possible offsets between AMS laboratories at high precision. The results show that AMS laboratories are capable of measuring samples of Holocene age with an accuracy and precision that is comparable or even goes beyond what is possible with decay counting, even though they require a thousand times less wood. It also shows that not all AMS laboratories always produce results that are consistent with their stated uncertainties. The long-term benefits of studies of this kind are more accurate radiocarbon measurements with, in the future, better quantified uncertainties.

Extreme cosmic radiation events occurred in the years 774/5 and 993/4 CE, as revealed by anomalies in the concentration of radiocarbon in known-age tree-rings. Most hypotheses point towards intense solar storms as the cause for these events, although little direct experimental support for this claim has thus far come to light. In this study, we perform very high-precision accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements on dendrochronological tree-rings spanning the years of the events of interest, as well as the Carrington Event of 1859 CE, which is recognized as an extreme solar storm even though it did not generate an anomalous radiocarbon signature. Our data, comprising 169 new and previously published measurements, appear to delineate the modulation of radiocarbon production due to the Schwabe (11-year) solar cycle. Moreover, they suggest that all three events occurred around the maximum of the solar cycle, adding experimental support for a common solar origin.

The Earliest Candidates of Auroral Observations in Assyrian Astrological Reports: Insights on Solar Activity around 660 BCE Reviewed International journal Open Access

Auroral records found in historical archives and cosmogenic isotopes found in natural archives have served as sound proxies of coronal mass ejections and solar energetic particles (SEPs), respectively, for dates prior to the onset of telescopic sunspot observations in 1610. These space weather events constitute a significant threat to a modern civilization, because of its increasing dependency on an electronic infrastructure. Recent studies have identified multiple extreme space weather events derived from SEPs in natural archives, such as the event in 660 BCE. While the level of solar activity around 660 BCE is of great interest, this had not been within the coverage of the hitherto-known datable auroral records in historical documents that extend back to the 6th century BCE. Therefore, we have examined Assyrian astrological reports in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE, identified three observational reports of candidate aurorae, and dated these reports to approximately 680 BCE-650 BCE. The Assyrian cuneiform tablets let us extend the history of auroral records and solar activity by a century. These cuneiform reports are considered to be the earliest datable records of candidate aurorae and they support the concept of enhanced solar activity suggested by the cosmogenic isotopes from natural archives.
