摘要
In this paper, the behaviour of the fluctuating component in the solar wind parameters (V, B(z)), the auroral electrojet indices (AU, AL), the ring current index (D(st)) and the interplanetary electric field (V x B(z)) during 10 magnetic storms is analysed to understand the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling. It is found that during the moderate storms (D(st) > -100 nT), the fluctuating component of 3-4 h periodicity is clearly discernible in all the parameters, and during the intense storms (D(st) < -100 nT) the periodic fluctuations are not well defined.
