Scientific paper

Investigations of 23 geomagnetic storms from 1966 to 1977 show that the ring current decay is much slower than previously estimated. A time constant of 20 hours is found, due to the fact that the decay event of the ring current is not disturbed by the injection at the beginning of the recovery phase. The injection is shown to increase with decreasing intensity of the ring current. Several different behaviors for the storms are observed, suggesting that the storms were influenced by various conditions of the magnetosphere and probably by different predevelopments.
