A History of Solar Activity over Millennia (2008, background): “, Zeller and Dreschhoff, 1995; Dreschhoff and Zeller, 1998) polar caps, depicting pronounced spikes associated with strong SEP events (McCracken et al., 2001).”
The standard flare model in three dimensions II: upper limit on solar flare energy (2012, background): “For example, the energy content of the first-ever observed solar flare on Sept 1, 1859 (Carrington 1859; Hodgson 1859) has been thoroughly debated (McCracken et al. 2001; Tsurutani et al. 2003; Cliver & Svalgaard 2004; Wolff et al. ar X iv :1 21 2.”
The 1859 Solar–Terrestrial Disturbance And the Current Limits of Extreme Space Weather Activity (2004, background): “Figure 3 adapted from McCracken et al. (2001a), shows the times of occurrence of all >30 MeV proton events with fluences exceeding 109 pr cm−2 between 1855–2000 (update through 2000 based on M. Shea, personal communication, 2004).”
Sunspot cycle 24: Smallest cycle in 100 years? (2005, background): “Two of the eight strongest storms in the last 150 years occurred during solar cycle 14 (Rmax = 64) [Cliver and Svalgaard, 2004], while three of the five largest 30 MeV solar energetic proton events since 1859 [McCracken et al., 2001] occurred during cycle 13 (Rmax = 88).”
The 1859 space weather event revisited: limits of extreme activity (2013, background): “…event, as it is commonly called, was at or near the top of size-ordered lists of magnetic crochet amplitude, solar energetic proton (SEP) fluence (McCracken et al. 2001a, 2001b), Sun-Earth disturbance transit time (Cliver et al. 1990), geomagnetic storm intensity (Tsurutani et al. 2003), and…”
A History of Solar Activity over Millennia (2008, unknown): “However, the method has a drawback as noted by McCracken et al. (2001b).”
Estimating the frequency of extremely energetic solar events, based on solar, stellar, lunar, and terrestrial records (2012, background): “…was dated to within a few weeks of the 1859 Carrington event, one of the largest known solar flares and associated CME sequences to impact geospace [Dreschhoff and Zeller , 1994; Shea et al., 1993; McCracken et al., 2001; Tsurutani et al., 2003; Cliver and Svalgaard , 2004; Shea et al., 2006].”
On the probability of occurrence of extreme space weather events (2012, background): “Ice core measurements indicated that most of the nitrates were deposited within weeks of production, suggesting that gravitational precipitation (i.e., snow) must have played a key role in its downward transport [McCracken et al., 2001].”
The Two Sources of Solar Energetic Particles (2012, background): “The study of the probability of large SEP events appeared to be greatly enhanced by the observation of nitrates, thought to be generated by SEP events, captured in polar ice over the last ~400 years (McCracken et al. 2001a, b).”
