"Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) dominate the intense geomagnetic storm (GMS) occurrences, and simultaneously, they are correlated with the variations of the spectra of particles, ranging from the isothermal solar wind ions to GeV energy protons and fully stripped nuclei. The aim of this paper is to get more insight in the correlations of the ICME parameters with geospace parameters, including the Dst index and the secondary cosmic ray flux," researchers in Yerevan, Armenia report.
"Our observations of GMS occurring during the 23rd solar activity cycle demonstrate that the count rate increase during GMS occurs coherently (or up to 1 h in advance) ...
