Scientific paper

The accuracy of the present AE(12) index is evaluated by using magnetometer data from the six IMS meridian chains and other high-latitude stations. It is shown that the accuracy of AE(12) becomes progressively worse for lower values. There are at least a few causes for this inaccuracy, and three of them are identified. Although it is not possible to provide a single critical value, one should be cautious about the accuracy of the absolute value of AE(12) less than approximately 250 nT. In particular, since 70 percent of AE(12) values are less than 250 nT, one must be cautious in correlative use of the AE(12) index with solar wind parameters.
