The flow of energy into the ring current is regulated by solar wind parameters. It is well known that VBs in the solar wind is a major factor in regulating the transfer of energy into the magnetosphere as measured by the ring current injection rate. Using ten years of data, from 1995 to 2004, we have identified 93 storms. In this study we will examine the relative role of the solar wind speed, V, as compared to the southward component of the IMF components, Bs, in relation to the ring current injection rate, as defined by the Burton equation. We will address the reinterpretation of the Burton equation by Vasyliunas [2006] as well as the role of the saturation of the polar cap potential on these relationships.
