Abstract

This paper is a continuation of our works [1, 2], in which we discussed some incorrect approaches to identifying large-scale types of solar wind and related incorrect conclusions drawn when analyzing the solar-terrestrial physics data. In this paper, we analyze the sets of CME-induced, CIR-induced, and multistep magnetic storms for the period of 1996–2004 from the list by Kataoka and Miyoshi [3]. It is shown that a significant number of the events in this list were identified incorrectly and that their interpretation differs, both from our catalog (Yermolaev et al. [4], ftp://ftp.iki.rssi.ru/pub/omni/) for the Sheath, ICME, and CIR and from the catalog by Richardson and Cane [5] for ICME. The use of the uncorrected list of Kataoka and Miyoshi leads to incorrect identification of the interplanetary drivers of magnetic storms and to erroneous conclusions, for example, in paper [6].

APPLICATION

APPLICATION

As was noted in the Introduction, in the work by Pandya et al., it was indicated that the authors used in their work the results of identifying SW types in the list by Shen et al., which were criticized in our work [2]. In this Application, Table 7 presents the results of comparing the data of these two works with our catalog (ftp://ftp.iki.rssi.ru/pub/omni/). First of all, it is noteworthy that Pandya et al. added a significant number of events as compared to the list by Shen et al. Comparison with our catalog has shown that, in Table 7, of the 27 CME-induced magnetic storms, two events (numbers 3 and 8) related to Sheath, two events (19 and 26) related to CIR, and 23 events related to ICME. Twelve events, marked in Table 7 as т1 or т2, are contained in the tables of paper [17]. Of the 28 CIR-induced magnetic storms, two events (7 and 10) related to Sheath, two events (15 and 18) to ICME, four events (5, 11, 22, and 26) to undisturbed SW, and 21 events to CIR. Twelve events, marked in Table 7 as т2, are contained in Table 2 of the list by Shen et al.
