Abstract

We have examined the solar wind dynamic pressure enhancements during geomagnetic storm main phase. The Dst index has been used to identify more than 100 geomagnetic storms which occurred in the time interval of 1997 to 2001. We have selected only the events having the minimum Dst value less than -50 nT. In order to identify the pressure impact, we have looked at the low latitude ground H data as well as the solar wind pressure data themselves. (omitted)
