We are currently developing an experimental version of a semi-automated system to predict the intensity of geomagnetic storms.

Here is a list of the events that we analyzed

Our approach allows us to estimate the strength of southward Bz in IMF and to predict the magnitude of the Dst index. The method was first presented in October 2002 at the 34th COSPAR ASSEMBLY in HOUSTON, USA (Adv. Space Res., 32, #10, 1817).
