Occurrence of major geomagnetic storms and their relation with plasma parameters, interplanetary magnetic field parameters, and geomagnetic index during solar cycle 23 / Nur Syaahidah Mustafa

A geomagnetic storm is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetic field which is magnetosphere usually occurred due to a disturbance in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). There are many parameters that can play role in the form of geomagnetic storms. Some of the parameters do play si...
