  2. ABSTRACT • We analyze INTERMAGNET data about strongest geomagnetic storms observed during 23-rd solar cycle. • We compare this data set both statistically and individually with solar, heliospheric and magnetospheric conditions compiled in our data base APEV (http://dbserv.sinp.msu.ru/apev/fullist.htm) with the aim to investigate general and specific properties of the events, which demonstrate common features and broad diversity of situations. • New methods of analysis and dynamical visualization of big data sets related to geomagnetic storms are presented.

  7. More detailed comparative investigation is performed for two events: CASE 1 Complicated geomagnetic storm (consisting of two parts) of November 8-11, 2004. CASE 2 Isolated Geomagnetic storm of May 15, 2005. Acknowledgement. We are grateful to Prof. Kalevi Mursula who provided his Dxt calculated indexes which represent corrected version of Dst.

  8. CASE 1 Complicated Geomagnetic Storm of November 8-11, 2004 consisting of two parts • Heliospheric Current Sheet and Multiple Eruptions on the Sun. • Solar Wind and Interplanetary Magnetic Field. • Two coronal mass ejections. North-South magnetic field rotation during the flux rope crossings in the solar wind.

  9. CASE 1: Part 1 - First Geomagnetic Storm Development (Equatorial Regions) .- Symmetry.- 08-Nov-2004 06:00:00 Dxt=- 372.823 nT

  10. CASE 1: Part 2 - Second Geomagnetic Storm Development (Equatorial Regions) .- Asymmetry.- 10-Nov-2004 10:00:00 Dxt=- 264.491 nT

  12. CASE 1: Solar Wind and Interplanetary Magnetic Field

  14. CASE 2: Isolated Geomagnetic storm of May 15, 2005 - Geomagnetic Storm Development (Equatorial Regions) .- Symmetry.- 15-May-2005 08:00:00 Dxt=- 243.836 nT

  15. CASE 2: Heliospheric Current Sheet and Multiple Eruptions on the Sun

  16. CASE 2: Solar Wind and Interplanetary Magnetic Field

  17. CASE 2: Dynamic analysis using DMA approach and GIS technology

  18. CASE 2 Time delay • The main ring current started to develop with a large delay (~3 hours) after the interplanetary shock arrival to the Earth and the sudden commencement. • It is because of the interplanetary electric field unfavorable orientation against the magnetosphere (positive Bz).

  19. What do we see on the Equator? • Case 1. Strongly delayed (half a day!) irregular evelopment. Longitudinal asymmetry. Storm like a Substorm. Similar case – Carrington Event (September 1859) • Case 2. Nearly simultaneous storm development on the globe. Longitudinal symmetry. Ring current . Dst or Dxt.

  20. Conclusion 1 • The ring current is not always a main contributor to the equatorial geomagnetic perturbations during the development and the main phase of strong geomagnetic storms.

  21. CONCLUSIONS • Global, regional and local properties of individual geomagnetic storms have common and specific features depending on the driving external conditions in the heliosphere and on the Sun. • Based on our analysis we conclude that geomagnetic proxies could serve as an important source of indirect information about solar and heliospheric activity in the past, when direct observations were not available. • Reliability and accuracy of physical interpretations and models essentially depend on the quality of geomagnetic input information and assumed conditions on the ground, in the ionosphere, the magnetosphere, the solar wind and on the Sun. • Well calibrated INTERMAGNET data in combination with other ground based measurements and multipoint satellite missions are promising for the future progress towards better and broader scientific and technical use of geomagnetic information. • Suggestedannewapproach to analysisofgeomagneticeventsbasedondatafromtheglobalnetworkofIntermagnetobservatories using fuzzy mathematics and GIS technology. • Thank you!
