1. Introduction

GICs in electric power lines (EPLs) are generated during geomagnetic disturbances in a contour formed by the EPL, grounding, and the Earth's crust. GICs cause damage of electric equipment because of processes in the transformers and incorrect functioning of protecting systems, and in extreme cases even blackouts [Boteler, 2019; Pilipenko, 2021]. The most intensive GICs were

observed during main phase of violent magnetic storms (e.g. [Kappenman, 2005; Pulkkinen et al., 2006; Trichtchenko et al., 2007]).

ULF geomagnetic pulsations in the Pc5-6/Pi3 band (periods 3-15 min) till recent time have been an underestimated factor of GIC-associated hazard to technological systems. However, their long duration (several hours on average), large amplitudes (sometimes comparable with weak substorm), and dB/dt absolute values, which showed their efficiency in GIC estimates [Viljanen, 1997], make to consider ULF activity as a serious threat to power lines [Kataoka and Pulkkinen, 2008]. GICs associated with high amplitude ULF waves in the Pc5/Pi3 frequency range were as high as those registered during substorm onsets [Apatenkov et al., 2020; Heyns et al., 2021]. Mostly the GIC proxies - dB/dt or electrotelluric fields are estimated from magnetic field records along with models of the Earth conductivity (e.g. [Love et al., 2017] and

references therein). Studies based on direct GIC measurements [Belakhovsky et al., 2019; Heyns et al., 2021; Kozyreva et al., 2020] are not so numerous. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages. Magnetotelluric modelling allows to accumulate information from the entire area around power transmission line under question. However, only direct measurements of GICs can reveal factors which have not been included into a model yet. Contribution of these parameters can be estimated from a statistical analysis of simultaneously measured magnetic field and GIC variations. The studies in which model results are validated with the direct measurements (e.g. [Blake et al., 2018; Dimmock et al., 2019; Wik et al., 2008]) combine the advantages of both approaches but are the most time-consuming.

The parameters which influence efficiency of a geomagnetic disturbance in GIC generation are not identical for magnetic storms and geomagnetic pulsations. As disturbances caused by a magnetic storm are global, GIC intensity is controlled by geomagnetic field time variations, as well as by spatial distribution of the conductivity of the Earth's crust and the parameters of electric circuit (see e.g. [Arajarvi et al., 2011; Boteler and Pirjola, 2017] and references therein). Spatial scale of geomagnetic pulsations also influences GIC amplitudes. In our previous study [Yagova et al., 2021], the dependence of spatial scale of Pc5/Pi3 geomagnetic pul-

sations on their efficiency in GIC generation was revealed. GIC to magnetic field amplitude ratio can also depend on spectral content of geomagnetic pulsations. If at least two spectral maxima exist in the pulsation spectra, the coincidence of harmonic phase can lead to enhanced level of dB/dt and thus GIC amplitudes.

In the present study we examine a possible influence of the ULF spectral content on the efficiency of GIC generation by Pc5-6/Pi3 geomagnetic pulsations using data of several years of GIC and geomagnetic observations in the Russian North-West and Fennoscandia.

2. Observational Data and Their Processing

GICs were recorded with 1-min cadence at the terminal station Vykhodnoj (VKH) of the "Northern Transit" power transmission line [Sakharov et al., 2009]. The geomagnetic field data were taken from the nearest 3 stations of IMAGE magnetometer network [Tanskanen, 2009]. Stations record three components of geomagnetic field with 10 s cadence. A map showing the locations of magnetic stations, GIC-recording site, and electric power line is presented in Figure 1.

The same stations have been used in [Yagova et al., 2021] to separate ULF disturbances into large-scale and small-scale pulsations. Station information is summarized in Table 1. Type of measurements is codified as B and I for magnetic field and GIC measurements, respectively. The last column gives universal time (UT) of magnetic local midnight. The data for 4 years from July 2014 to June 2018 is used for the analysis. These years cover the maximum and at the declining phase of the 24-th solar cycle. During this period the intervals of fast solar wind were common and thus Pc5/Pi3 amplitudes are expected to be elevated.

2.1. Data Processing

The "Northern Transit" electric power line is elongated along the meridian. Therefore, we use for the analysis By (eastward) component because it corresponds better to GIC variations as compared with Bx (northward) component [Sakharov et al., 2021]. The frequency band under consideration 1.0-5.5 mHz comprises narrow-band Pc5 waves and broadband Pi3/Ps6 pulsations. We do not intentionally discriminate quasi-monochromatic (Pc-type) and irregular (Pi-type) pulsations. Our analysis is based on criteria which quantify pulsation spectra and its possible influence on GIC generation.

The raw magnetometer data have been preliminary low-pass filtered with a cutoff frequency 8.3 mHz and decimated to the 1-minute time step. Prior to spectral analysis, the magnetic field 1-min data have been high-pass filtered with the cut-off frequency fc = 0.8 mHz. Further we use the notations by and Al for variations of By component and GIC to discriminate them from their undisturbed values. Cross-spectra are estimated with

the Blackmann-Tukey method [Jenkins and Watts, 1969; Kay, 1988] in the 64 points (3840 s) time window. Power-spectral density (PSD), spectral coherence 72 and phase difference A0 have been applied for the classification of pulsations. Spectral coherence and phase difference are calculated for two stations to estimate spatial scale of pulsations. The correspondence between GICs and geomagnetic pulsations is estimated from data at VKH and KEV stations. As a measure of ULF power at VKH meridian, the PSD along the profile KEV-KIL has been linearly extrapolated to this location.

To suppress the influence of spatial scale of geomagnetic pulsations on their efficiency in GIC generation, only large-scale pulsations are taken for the analysis. To discriminate between large-scale and small-scale pulsations, we use spectral coherence 72, PSD ratio R, and phase difference A0 from in the North-South (N-S) and East-West (E-W) directions in the same technique as in [Yagova et al., 2021]. Numerical values of the parameters at which pulsations are classified as large-scale are summarized in Table 2.

We attribute ULF disturbances to GIC-associa-ted pulsations if I-by coherence is as high as 7]B > 0.5, and peak-to-peak amplitudes of GIC and by variations exceed 4 A and 8 nT, respectively. For both by and GIC pulsations we introduce square mean amplitude Ay according to

where Y = (b or I), and N is number of points in the time interval. To quantify efficiency of geomagnetic pulsations in GIC generation, a parameter Rjb is introduced as Rjb = Aj/ A5.

In order to study possible influence of pulsations' spectral shape on their GIC efficiency, we divide all the large-scale pulsations into groups in accordance with their spectral content, and parameters of GIC - bY inter-relation. Group 1 includes all the large-scale by pulsations with over-threshold amplitudes. Group 2 is a part of group 1 and includes pulsations producing over-threshold GIC pulsations with /yJB > 0.5. Actually, this group includes the pulsations for which GIC has an over-threshold amplitude and it is likely generated by the geomagnetic pulsations. However, even within this group, GIC amplitudes differ essentially for the same by amplitudes. Group 3 includes group 2 pulsations with over-threshold values of RJb > 0.2 A/nT. Pulsations of this group are more effective in GIC generation in comparison with the others.

Pulsations of all the three groups are divided into 1-harmonic and multi-harmonic ones according to the follows spectral criteria. A pulsation is considered 1-harmonic if its dby/dt spectra contains a major maximum with halfwidth which does not exceed a threshold value W5 = 1 mHz at a given height h5 = 0.3 PSDmax, and it is either the only spectral maximum, or PSD ratio of major to each of minor maxima ^maj exceeds the threshold value (^maj > 3.75). If a spectrum has two or more maxima with ^maj below the threshold value, a pulsation is considered a multi-harmonic one. The condition of narrow spectral width eliminates from consideration step-like variations of geomagnetic field (e.g. during substorm onset) and isolated impulses [Engebretson et al2020].

A relative time duration of each group occurrence as compared with total duration of observational period (3.5 x 104 hours) is given in Table 3. For all the pulsation groups, multi-harmonic pulsations are more frequent in comparison with 1-harmonic ones.

3. Examples

Different efficiency of geomagnetic pulsations in GIC generation is illustrated with the following examples. Figure 2 shows the ULF event recorded near the magnetic midnight on 16 August (day 228) 2015 at the early recovery phase of a moderate magnetic storm with minimal Dst = -84 nT started on the previous day. The pulsation has a visible period about 11 minutes which corresponds to 1.3 mHz frequency of PSD maxima for both of geomagnetic and GIC pulsations. The geomagnetic pulsations have peak-to-peak amplitude of by component about 100 nT and maximal dby/dt variations about 0.5 nT/s. Maxi-

mal peak-to-peak amplitude of resulting GIC variations is about 10 A. The GIC generation efficiency Rib - 6 x 10-2 A/nT.

However, GIC pulsations with comparable amplitudes can result from much weaker geomagnetic disturbances. An example of non-storm geomagnetic pulsations and resulting GIC variations is presented in Figure 3.

The pulsation event was recorded on 17 May (day 137) 2018 (MLT is about 10 at VKH meridian). Maximal peak-to-peak amplitudes of geomagnetic and GIC pulsations are about 25 nT and 10 A, respectively. Waveforms of geomagnetic pulsations has several fragments with dBy/dt ~ 0.5 nT/s, i.e. with approximately the same magnitude as for pulsations with 100 nT amplitude shown in Figure 2. Their GIC generation efficiency is several times higher than in previous event, Rjb ~ 0.25 A/nT. This is a result of the interference of two harmonics in PSD spectra with frequency ratio about 3/2 at 2.7 and 4 mHz.

4. Statistics

In this section efficiency (Rib ) of 1-harmonic and multi-harmonic Pc5/Pi3 pulsations in GIC generation is compared for the whole 4-year interval. Figure 4 presents Rjb empirical probability density functions (PDF) for 1-harmonic and multi-harmonic pulsations.

Figure 4. Distribution of 1-harmonic and multi-harmonic pulsations over Rjb amplitude ratios for all the Pc5/Pi3 intervals selected in 2014-2018.

The Figure 4 shows that the most probable value of Rjb is nearly 1.5 times higher for the multi-harmonic pulsations than for those with the only frequency dominating.

The parameters of geomagnetic pulsations cannot be completely predicted from the extra-magne-tospheric factors (e.g. [Alperovich and Fedorov, 2007]). However, it is well known that Pc5 pulsations have specific diurnal variation with a major maximum in the morning MLT sector and a minor one at afternoon hours [Baker et al., 2003], while Pi3 pulsations are typical at night hours. Diurnal variation of the GIC intensity has a maximum during the nighttime hours, caused by substorms, and a maximum at early morning hours, associated with Pi3/Pc5 activity [ Vorobev et al., 2019].

Diurnal variation (in MLT) for 3 groups Pc5-6/Pi3 pulsations is illustrated in Figure 5 separately for 1-harmonic multi-harmonic pulsations. It is seen from the Figure 5 that the main maximum in the occurrence of Pc5/Pi3s producing GICs (groups 2 and 3) is found at pre-noon hours for both 1-harmonic and multi-harmonic pulsations. Meanwhile, diurnal variations of all the large-scale pulsations (group 1) differ in dependence of the spectral content. For them, the main maximum is shifted towards noon for multi-harmonic pulsations, as compared to 1-harmonic ones. Minor post-noon maximum is also seen in both multi-harmonic and GIC-effective 1-harmonic pul-

sations (group 3). Diurnal variations of 1-harmonic pulsations (groups 2 and 3) also demonstrate maxima in the pre-midnight sector, probably associated with Pi3 pulsations. Summarizing, we can conclude that morning and pre-noon hours are favorable for Pc5/Pi3 geomagnetic pulsations producing GICs.

Broadband Pi3 and Ps6 pulsations are associated with auroral activations [Kleimenova et al., 2002]. At auroral latitudes pulsation activity is controlled mostly by auroral activations measured by the auroral electrojet (AE) index, or a similar non-official SME (SuperMag Electrojet) index [Gjerloev, 2009]. The SME index PDFs for the same groups of pulsations as in Figure 5, are presented in Figure 6.

It is seen from the Figure 6 that the distributions for GIC producing pulsations (groups 2 and 3) are shifted to higher SME values as compared with all the large-scale pulsations. The maxima are found at SME > 300 nT, against 150 nT for all the large-scale pulsations. These distributions also indicate the difference between 1-harmonic and multi-harmonic pulsations. From the present analysis we can conclude Pc5/Pi3 geomagnetic pulsations producing GICs are more probable under moderate auroral activity resulting in SME index values exceeding 300 nT. Meanwhile the difference in SME distributions between pulsations with different Rjb values is not essential.

5. Discussion

The most important result of the above analysis is that GIC with comparable amplitudes can be generated by both high-amplitude storm-time Pc5-6/Pi3 pulsations and by non-storm ones with moderate amplitudes. The Rjb distribution shown in Figure 4 shows that maximal Rjb values are about 1. This means that the Pc5-6/Pi3 pulsations with typical amplitudes about few tens nT cause of potentially risky GICs variations with amplitudes about few tens A, while rare extreme GICs with amplitudes about of higher than 100 A originate from pulsations with extremely high amplitudes at the main or recovery phase of a magnetic storm [Apatenkov et al., 2020; Wik et al., 2008].

The large-scale Pc5-6/Pi3 pulsations producing GICs of detectable amplitudes are most probable at moderate auroral activity at morning and pre-noon hours. Multi-harmonic pulsations are more effective in GIC generation in comparison with 1-harmonic ones. A higher efficiency of multi-harmonic pulsations follows from the existence of a second harmonic which has a higher frequency (for a uniform conductivity of the Earth crust the components of amplitude spectra are related as I(f) = f1/2B(f)). However, this is not the only reason for the difference in GIC efficiency of 1-harmonic and multi-harmonic pulsations. Figure 7 shows frequency PDFs of number of events and energy for both 1-harmonic and multi-harmonic pulsations.

Rather unexpectedly, the PDF is shifted towards high frequencies for 1-harmonic pulsations

as compared with multi-harmonic ones. While PDF of multi-harmonic pulsations has a wide maximum centered at 3.5 mHz, the PDF maximum for 1-harmonic pulsations is found above 4 mHz. The PDF^ is shifted to lower frequencies in comparison with the PDF for both groups of pulsations. This is due to the fact that averaged PSD decreases with frequency. For 1-harmonic pulsations, energy distribution has two maxima centered at 1.5 and 4 mHz. They can be associated with Pi3 and Pc5 pulsations. As for the latter frequency band, it coincides with the one of Alfven FLR at the magnetic latitudes studied. The details of FLR behavior of azimuthal (by) component are studied in [Lifshicz and Fedorov, 1986], and this effect probably causes non-monotonous frequency dependence of GIC to by PSD ratio for some groups of pulsations, found in [Yagova et al., 2021]. This allows to assume, why 1-harmonic pulsations are less effective GIC generation than multi-harmonic ones even under the same dby/dt values obtained from the measurements at a short base along a meridian. GICs are controlled by distribution of pulsation magnetic field over the whole EPL length. Meanwhile, magnetic field of resonant pulsations are strongly non-monotonous along a meridian. However, the pulsations can be classified as large-scale if the points used for the selection are not co-located with region of high amplitude and phase gradients. Besides, in the present study, the nearest magnetometer is displaced at 4.5 degrees westward from the EPL meridian. This leads to additional requirements on

Figure 8. Waveforms (left) and dby/dt PSD spectra (right) for the storm-time Ps6 pulsation described in [Apatenkov et al., 2020].

pulsations' amplitude and phase gradients in the E-W direction and can lead to additional inaccuracy in Rjb estimates.

In contrast to expectations, statistical diurnal variations have shown that substantial number of Pc5 pulsations belong to multi-harmonic events. The occurrence of higher harmonics may be associated with distortions of the wave forms which make them non-sinusoidal and with steep fronts which leads to increase of GIC amplitudes.

Actually, GICs associated with geomagnetic pulsations are comparable with those caused by auroral substorm onsets. However, they can be studied quantitatively with an accuracy sufficient for applications only under optimal configuration of magnetic measurements. The distances between the EPL and magnetic stations, and between adjacent stations are limited from above by a scale of variation of pulsation's amplitude and phase and from below by the interference produced by EPL. Meanwhile, existing networks of magnetic stations are too rare for GIC applications, especially for the EPLs prolongated along a meridian in which GICs originate predominantly from pulsation by component. Meanwhile, neglected bx component may contribute to GIC owing to anisotropy of the crust and isotropy of small-scale structure embedded into the auroral geomagnetic activity.

During the event with extreme values of the peak-to-peak GIC in the "Northern Transit" line I — 200 A and dB/dt — 6.5 nT/s GIC bursts were caused by quasi-periodic sequence of magnetic pulses (Ps6 pulsations) with amplitudes b — 500 - 1000 nT [Apatenkov et al., 2020; Chinkin et al., 2021]. The pulsation efficiency in this event is

R ~ 200/1000 ~ 0.2 A/nT, that is about the same as in the example in Figure 3.

Waveforms and dby/dt spectra for these pulsations are shown in Figure 8 for the KEV station used as a base one in the present study and at LOZ located closer to the EPL meridian ($ = 64.2°, A = 114.2°). LOZ was not used in the present study because its data coverage during the years of analysis is not enough for statistics. The spectra are calculated for a 64 minutes interval starting at 01:05 UT in the technique used in the present research. The pulsation demonstrates complex waveforms and multi-harmonic spectra at both stations. The steepest fragments of by variations with time are found at LOZ, as well as higher PSD and contribution of minor spectral peaks to total energy. This pulsation illustrates that even storm-time disturbances which are usually large-scale may have essential gradients along a latitude. Both waveforms and spectra demonstrate non-negligible difference between pulsations at two stations separated by 6° in longitude. This can result in additional inaccuracy in GIC applications. In fact, an analysis based on magnetic and GIC measurements separated by several degrees would either produce essential errors in extrapolation of geomagnetic pulsations' parameters to the EPL meridian or take into account a very limited number of large-scale events. Actually, the low fraction of large-scale events summarized in Table 3 can be essentially increased if only a meridional magnetometer chain located within 12 degrees from the "Northern Transit" EPL meridian existed and its data could be utilized along with the data recorded by IMAGE.

6. Conclusion

At auroral latitudes, non-storm Pc5-6/Pi3 pulsations with moderate amplitudes are an important source of potentially risky GICs with amplitudes up to few tens A. The diurnal variations and dependence on auroral activity of all the large-scale Pc5-6/Pi3 pulsations and ones associated with GICs are not identical. The maximal occurrence of Pc5-6/Pi3 pulsations associated with GICs is found at pre-noon hours under moderate (SME ~ 200 - 600 nT) auroral activity.

The spectral content of ULF pulsations is found to be a significant factor of the GIC generation

efficiency. Multi-harmonic pulsations are more effective in GIC generation in comparison with 1-harmonic ones. The most probable value of Rib is nearly 1.5 higher for multi-harmonic pulsations than for one harmonic-ones.
