Magnetospheric substorms represent a global interaction between the solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere. Energy transported from the solar wind into the magnetosphere is largely stored in the tail until it is released (primarily into the ionosphere and the ring current). The Akasofu epsilon parameter (ɛ=4π L / μ v B2 sin 4 θ / 2), and multiple empirically determined formulas for energy dissipation into the ionosphere (joule heating and particle precipitation) and the ring current have been considered for such global interactions. An energy budget and estimation of total energy in the tail has been created for 12 isolated substorms that occurred during 2001. Considerable complexity and individuality of substorms is observed with substantial differences in the input and dissipation pattern for individual events. Our analysis is compared with previous published results.
