Characteristics of Magnetic Clouds and Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections which Cause Intense Geomagnetic Storms

We present the results of a statistical data analysis of the geo-effectiveness of non-magnetic-cloud interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and compare them with those of magnetic-cloud (MC) interplanetary coronal mass ejections observed during solar cycle 23. (The term ICME as used here will...
