E region electrodynamic parameters like conductivities, currents and Jouleheating rates have been derived from incoherent scatter measurements (EISCAT) during theregarded storm. They show that this storm did not have a very strong influence on the auroralzone over northern Scandinavia. The electric field was strong but not exceptional, but all the otherparameters were only moderately enhanced compared to quiet conditions. This was mainly aconsequence of the low solar ionisation, since the sun was just barely above the horizon at 90 kmaltitude. The total energy deposition by Joule heating over the EISCAT area was about 6.5 TJcompared to 57,000 TJ of solar wind electromagnetic energy input into the magnetosphere.
