MAGNETIC STORMS AND SUBSTORMS

Specialty Definition: MAGNETIC STORMS AND SUBSTORMS

DomainDefinition

Space

A series of terrestrial distrubances -- namely, the precipitation of auroras and rapid changes in Earth's magnetic field -- caused by high-speed blasts of the solar wind. Magnetic storms have measurable effects worldwide, such as radio communication blackouts and power grid failures. Magnetic storms are far less frequent than magnetic substorms which are initiated by processes on Earth's magnetotail and are restricted to the auroral ovals. (references)
