The nature of solar wind-magnetosphere energy transfer plays a big role in understanding the time history and types of global-scale magnetospheric phenomena. However, systematic approaches to quantifying how the specific magnetospheric "modes" (if they can be called that) of substorms, SMCs, sawtooth events, and geomagnetic storms could be controlled by the solar wind are still difficult. We present a fresh approach to characterizing the solar wind and its time history using self-organizing maps. The thrust of this effort is geared towards detecting and classifying solar wind structure on time scales relevant for the magnetospheric responses of interest. Performing this characterization at the L1 point is ideal for uncovering solar wind- magnetosphere relationships. It also provides a very long, contiguous time series that helps us explore these relationships over a complete solar cycle. We present the technique and initial results of solar wind comparisons during and leading up to SMCs and sawtooth events.
