Aurorae Boreales and Geomagnetic Inclinations as Aids to Archaeomagnetic Dating
TLDR
Geomagnetic virtual pole positions (VGP's) calculated from archaeomagnetic directional data are compared with three ancient accounts of low latitude observations of the Aurorae boreales, viz by Aristotle (384-322 BC), Seneca (55 BC-40 AD) and simultaneously by Chinese astronomers in Hangzhou, China and by European observers in Prague in 1138 AD, October 13th as discussed by the authors.Abstract:

Variations in Mid‐Latitude Auroral Activity During the Holocene*
M. Korte,Susann Stolze +1 more
TL;DR: AUREST as discussed by the authors is a tool that visually combines the time-dependent variations of these parameters to provide relative estimates of aurora occurrence in mid-latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere over the past 10,000 years.

Evidence for periodicities in the auroral occurrence frequency since 300 AD and their implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the power spectral density of the Chinese auroral records has a strong multiplet of spectral lines centered on the median period, and the prominent period is 200 years followed by enveloping bands of 80 −130, 40 −60 and 20 −30 years.

On the high correlation between long‐term averages of solar wind speed and geomagnetic activity
TL;DR: In this paper, six-month and yearly averages of solar-wind speed from 1962 to 1975 are shown to be highly correlated with geomagnetic activity as measured by averages of the Ap index.
