... This network clearly showed that magnetic storms were essentially identical all over the world: a steep decrease of the field over 6-24 hours, followed by a gradual recovery which lasted 1-4 days. ... The Dst index, when corrected for other effects, gives a good idea of the strength of the ring current, and can be actually shown to be approximately proportional to the energy of the magnetic storm. ... When large active sunspots were visible, big magnetic storms were much more likely. ...
