The Contribution of Magnetospheric Currents to Ground Magnetic Perturbation during Geomagnetic Storms
A geomagnetic storm is triggered in response to a disturbance in the solar wind. The earth's ring current gets energized during a geomagnetic storm, which leads to a decrease in the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field on the earth's surface. The Disturbance Storm Time (Dst) index...
