MT-index − a possible new index to characterize the magnetic configuration of magnetotail

Existing activity indices (magnetic indices like AE, <i>K<sub>p</sub></i>, <i>D<sub>st</sub></i> or indices based on solar wind parameters) are poor predictors of the instantaneous magnetospheric configuration. We suggest a new activity index – the MT-...
