Abstract

Based on statistical data and a detailed analysis of geomagnetic response to the hard electromagnetic radiation of the X17 solar flare of September 7, 2005, we considered spatial features of current systems producing the geomagnetic solar flare effect (SFE). During flares accompanied by intensive X-rays and gamma rays, SFEs are shown to be observed globally, including the night hemisphere and high latitudes. Cause-effect relations of phenomena under consideration are discussed.
