The role of parameters of the interplanetary medium in the development of the initial phase of a geomagnetic storm
Abstract
An empirical formula is presented which expresses the relationship between the DCF field on the earth's surface and the parameters of the solar-wind plasma. This formula relates the parameters of the interplanetary medium and the Dst index during the initial phase of a geomagnetic storm.
