Why Do Sudden Commencements Sometimes Generate Disproportionate Geomagnetically Induced Currents?
Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) in grounded, conducting infrastructure (e.g., power networks) represent an important space weather hazard. GICs are driven by the changing magnetic field at the Earth's surface.
