Abstract

On the basis of an analysis of the data of multi-satellite observations of magnetic clouds at the path Venus-Earth, the dependence of their geoeffectiveness on the orientation in the ecliptic plane and position relative to the Sun-Earth line is determined in the paper. The cloud parameters were determined on the basis of the model of a force-free cylindrical flux rope. The search for magnetic clouds in the flow of data from the monitoring space vehicle was performed using a special-purpose computer program.
