Scientific paper

Although the emphasis of the article by Li et al. (16 September 2003) describing the predictability of the magnetosphere and space weather was not history, I would like to point out two historical errors in the article that should be of interest to the readers of Eos. The first is the following assertion: ``That the Sun might influence the Earth's magnetic field...was first realized in 1859, when the largest magnetic storm ever recorded occurred 17 hours after a white light flare on the Sun.'' Seven years earlier, both Sabine and Wolf [1852] independently found that geomagnetic activity had the same 11 -year periodicity as the number of sunspots. Sabine concluded ``...it is quite conceivable that affections of the gaseous envelope of the sun...may give rise to sensible magnetical effects at the surface of our planet...'' [Sabine, 1852].
