| Abstract: | The rate of energy input to the ring current is studied as a function of solar wind parameters. The ring current dissipation rate is also examined. The decay constant τ in the main phase of a storm has been shown to be independent of its intensity and to equal (4 ± 2) h. In the recovery phase τ rises with increasing storm intensity. |
