Discussion and conclusions<br />

From the results obtained we see the convenience of fractal methods for study of the behavior of the ULF<br />

emission source system. We see that fractal dimension of the ULF emissions time series in its dynamics “feels”<br />

the changes in magnetosphere such as terminators and other fluctuations of magnetic field and reflects them as<br />

extremums. The next step of our research is to consider the correlation between the dynamics of the ULF<br />

emissions fractal dimensions and solar wind parameters and exclude variations caused by magnetospheric<br />

effects.<br />

To get the more definite conclusions concerning the origin of the extremums revealed, it is necessary to monitor<br />

the position and size of the cusp. For such a forthcoming research we will use the Tsyganenko model<br />

(http://geo.phys.spbu.ru/~tsyganenko/Geopack-2008.html), which allows us to calculate the projection of the<br />

cusp on the Earth's surface. That will give us a possibility to relate appropriate peculiarities in the ULF emissions<br />

fractal dynamics with moment of ingress of the Barentsburg station into the entire cusp region.<br />
