The geomagnetic storms of October and November 2003 as well as July 2000 were among the most significant of the past decade. The solar disturbances associated with these superstorms included strong solar flares, solar energetic particles, and coronal mass ejections. All three storms reached minimum Dst values less than -400 nT and maximum AE values greater than 3000 nT. The purpose of this presentation is to provide a quantitative examination of global energy deposition during these three superstorms in terms of ionospheric Joule heating, auroral particle precipitation, and magnetospheric ring current injection. We will compare the magnetospheric and ionospheric energy deposition with the available solar wind energy inputs to shed new light on the relative geoeffectiveness of magnetic clouds versus fast solar wind streams during superstorms. Finally, we compare the various solar energetic outputs arriving at the Earth's geospace environment in the forms of solar radiation, solar energetic particles, and solar wind kinetic and magnetic energies, and we discuss their respective impacts on the upper atmosphere.
