Abstract

The largest geomagnetic storm in solar cycle 24 is investigated from the dual perspective of (1) solar source – solar wind – geomagnetic storm chain and (2) the hazardous induced response as shown by the surface electric field. The study is based on heliospheric magnetic field and solar wind data, on one hand, and on recorded 1-min geomagnetic data from the INTERMAGNET network of European geomagnetic observatories, on the other. The lateral distribution of the induced electric response for the European continent during the considered storm is shown, and the timing of the maximum induced horizontal geoelectric vector is discussed in terms of specific moments of the storm development.
