Abstract: A new database for assessment of radiation doses at cruise flight altitude in the Earth atmosphere, related to ground level enhancement (GLE) events is created under VarSiTi/SCOSTEP support and incorporated to the International ground level enhancement (GLE) database (gle.oulu.fi). The upgraded database provides, for each GLE event, where possible, information on the estimated energy/rigidity spectra of solar energetic particles and the corresponding computed effective doses at cruise flight altitude of 35?kft (10,668?m above sea level). The computations are performed for various reconstructions of solar energetic particles spectra, available in literature, thus for some events there are several results. Computations were performed using a recent model for assessment of effective dose due to cosmic ray particles, applied specifically in the polar region, where the exposure is maximal. This upgrade allows one to estimate the radiation effects at cruise flight altitude caused by major GLE events over several decades.

Abstract: A method of synoptic map assimilation has been developed to study global rearrangements of open magnetic flux and formation of polar coronal holes (PCHs) in the current cycle. The analysis reveals ensembles of coronal holes (ECHs) that appear within unipolar magnetic regions associated with decaying activity complexes (ACs). The cause-effect relations between them explain the asyn-chronous PCH formation observed at the northern and southern hemispheres of the Sun. Thus, the decay of large ACs that were observed in 2014 led to formation of an extensive ECH, which then became the southern PCH in mid-2015. The intricate structure of the magnetic fields in the northern polar zone has impeded the formation of the northern PCH, although the dominant polarity at the North Pole reversed two years earlier than at the South Pole. The northern PCH formed only by mid-2016 as the result of a gradual merger of high-latitudinal ECHs associated with several decaying ACs.

The activity behavior and formation of polar coronal holes were vividly demonstrated in the movie that is attached to the article.
