dc.description.abstractSome average characteristics are determined for 136 moderate magnetic storms with sudden commencements that occurred during the interval 1902-1945. The average storm field is resolved for different epochs of storm time st into Dst, independent of local time, that is, of longitude X , relative to the sun, and into DS, that depends on X , Part DS is expressed in terms of harmonic components with respect to X , and like Dst, the amplitudes and phases of these components, are functions of st and of geomagnetic latitude. They are determined, for each of the three magnetic elements, declination, horizontal force, and vertical force, at eight geomagnetic latitudes ranging from 80*N to 1°S. In the first, and main harmonic component of DS, its variations with respect to storm time differs notably from that of Dst: its maximum is attained earlier and its decay is more rapid. The storm -time changes of the smaller harmonic components of DS have been less fully determined. The average characteristics of moderate storms are compared with those of weak storms.en_US
