TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an overview of the historical aspects of geomagnetic storms and the progress made during the past two centuries, and discuss the occurrence probability of such super magnetic storms, and the maximum possible intensity for the effects of a perfect ICME: extreme super magnetic storm, extreme magnetospheric compression, and extreme magnetosphere electric fields.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental features of ~0.1-0.2 µm and ∼ 0.5 µm spaced ionospheric electron precipitation are reviewed in light of similar temporal structures of electromagnetic whistler mode "chorus" waves detected in the outer magnetosphere.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the distribution of solitary waves from the bow shock to the magnetopause using Cluster waveform data and concluded that the solitary waves are probably created locally in the magnetosheath at multiple locations, and that the generation mechanism is most likely not solely related to ion dynamics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nonthermal hot electrons on soliton structures with other plasma parameters is studied using the Sagdeev pseudo-potential technique, and the results show good agreement with Viking satellite observations of the solitary structures with density depletions in the auroral region of the Earth's magnetosphere.
