Modeling geomagnetically induced currents
Space Weather, 2017 AbstractUnderstanding the geomagnetic hazard to power systems requires the ability to model the geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) produced in a power network. This paper presents the developments in GIC modeling starting with an examination of fundamental questions about where the driving force for GIC is located.

Influence of spatial variations of the geoelectric field on geomagnetically induced currents
Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2017 The geoelectric field driving geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) has complex spatial variations. It follows that different patterns of the field vectors in a given area having the same regional mean can produce very different GIC.
