Climatological Statistics of Extreme Geomagnetic Fluctuations With Periods From 1 s to 60 min

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2021
Using a global database of 125 magnetometers covering several decades, we present occurrence statistics for fluctuations of the horizontal geomagnetic field (dBh/dt) exceeding the 99.97th percentile (P99.97) for both ramp changes (Rn) and the root‐mean ...

Localized Threats: How Ground Conductivity Shapes the Geoelectric Response

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Geomagnetic storms can induce strong geoelectric fields in the ground. These fields drive geomagnetically induced currents in technological conductor systems, such as power grids. In this study, we analyze 4‐hr periods of two such major geomagnetic storms: the Halloween storm (29–31 October 2003) and the 7–8 September 2017 storm.

Regional estimation of geomagnetically induced currents based on the local magnetic or electric field

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2015
Previous studies have demonstrated a close relationship between the time derivative of the horizontal geomagnetic field vector (dH/dt) and geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) at a nearby location in a power grid.

Assessment of the geomagnetically induced currents impact on the power transformers cores of the Altai Republic 110 kV power grid [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Based on the Baigazan magnetic station data located in Altai, geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) in primary windings of transformers in the southern part of the Altai Republic power system were calculated during a strong magnetic storm on April 24 ...

Geomagnetic Pulsations Driving Geomagnetically Induced Currents

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2021
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are driven by the geoelectric field induced by fluctuations of Earth's magnetic field. Drivers of intense GICs are often associated with large impulsive events such as coronal mass ejections.

Modelling the effects of space weather at the Earth’s surface : a UK geoelectric field model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GIC), which can flow in technological systems such as power transmission grids, are a consequence of the geoelectric field induced at the surface of the Earth during geomagnetic storms.

Comparison of Geoelectric Fields Computed by the Complex Image, Magnetotelluric, and Finite‐Difference Time‐Domain Methods

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract It is important to be able to accurately predict geoelectric field behavior so that potential space weather hazards to large grounded infrastructure, such as electric power grids, smart grids, oil and gas pipelines, and railway systems, can be better understood.

Influence of Tectonic and Geological Structure on GIC in Southern South Island, New Zealand

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2023
As part of a 5‐year project to assess the risk posed by geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) to the New Zealand electrical transmission network, long‐period magnetotelluric (MT) measurements have been made at 62 sites in southern South Island of New ...
