摘 要:The intensity-time profiles of solar proton events(SPEs) are grouped into three types in the present study. The Type-I means that the intensity-time profile of an SPE has one peak, which occurs shortly after the associated solar flare and coronal mass ejection(CME). The Type-II means that the SPE profile has two peaks: the first peak occurs shortly after the solar eruption, the second peak occurs at the time when the CME-driven shock reaches the Earth, and the intensity of the second peak is lower than the first *** the intensity of the second peak is higher than the first one, or the SPE intensity increases continuously until the CME-driven shock reaches the Earth, this kind of intensity-time profile is defined as Type-III. It is found that most CMEs associated with Type-I SPEs have no geoeffectiveness and only a small part of CMEs associated with Type-I SPEs can produce minor(–50 n T ≤ Dst ≤–30 n T) or moderate geomagnetic storms(–100 n T≤ Dst ≤–50 n T), but never an intense geomagnetic storm(–200 n T ≤ Dst 〈-100 n T). However,most of the CMEs associated with Type-II and Type-III SPEs can produce intense or great geomagnetic storms(Dst ≤-200 n T). The solar wind structures responsible for the geomagnetic storms associated with SPEs with different intensity-time profiles have also been investigated and discussed.
