Major geomagnetic storms represent a signiΓΏcant dissipation of energy by the magnetosphere. The energy is derived from the solar wind ow and the subsequent powerful conversion of that energy takes several di erent forms. Ring current injection and decay, ionospheric Joule heating, particle precipita
