Scientific paper

A list of steady magnetospheric convection events (SMCs) has been compiled and checked for the years 1997-2008. An SMC is considered "active" if it has an average AL less than -300 nT, and approximately 20% of the total SMCs found are considered active. If the SMC starts with a substorm but does not end with a substorm and the AL slowly increases, then the SMC is considered an extended recovery phase. Approximately 20% of the totals SMC fall into this category. If there is not an initiating substorm and there is a slow decline in AL until a concluding substorm, then the SMC is labeled an extended growth phase. Only 3% of the total SMCs are identified as extended growth phases. We will investigate the different types of SMCs with respect to the solar cycle. We will also study the differences in solar wind parameters, activity levels and total number of SMCs during this time period.
