Abstract. In this paper, we analyse in detail two famous space weather events; a railway problem on 13–14 July 1982 and power blackout 30 October 2003. Both occurred Sweden during very intensive storms each of them few years after the sunspot maximum. This paper provides description conditions Sun solar wind leading to GIC events ground. By applying modelling techniques introduced developed our previous also calculate horizontal geoelectric field at Earth's surface southern as well flowing...

Sweden has experienced many geomagnetically induced current (GIC) events in the past, which is obviously due to high‐latitude location of country. The largest GIC, almost 300 A, was measured southern earthing lead a 400 kV transformer neutral during magnetic storm on 6 April 2000. On 30 October 2003, city Malmö at coast suffered from power blackout caused by leaving 50,000 customers without electricity for about 20–50 min. We have developed model that enables calculation GIC Swedish grid....

Abstract Geomagnetic indices are convenient quantities that distill the complicated physics of some region or aspect near‐Earth space into a single parameter. Most best‐known calculated from ground‐based magnetometer data sets, such as Dst, SYM‐H, Kp, AE, AL, and PC. Many models have been created predict values these indices, often using solar wind measurements upstream Earth input variables to calculation. This document reviews current state geomagnetic methods used assess their ability...
