Scientific paper

On 21-22 October 1999 a very intense geomagnetic storm (DST index: -237 nT) was detected. This event was associated with a High Speed Stream (HSS) and an interplanetary coronal mass ejection. Before and after this event, the interplanetary magnetic field showed an inversion probably associated with Heliospheric Current Sheet (HCS) crossings. One month before (21-22 September) a strong geomagnetic storm (DST index: -164 nT) was detected and the solar wind conditions were similar to those observed in October, i. e. magnetic cloud, HSS and HCS crossings. Nevertheless, the October event was stronger than the September one. We have compared both events trying to clarify what caused the difference between them.
