During geomagnetically active times such as geomagnetic storms,large amounts of energy can be released into the Earth’s magnetosphere and change the ring current intensity.Previous studies showed that significant enh...
Geomagnetic storms and substorms play a central role in both the daily life of mankind and in academic space physics.The profiles of storms,especially their initial phase morphology and the intensity of their substorm...
