Further investigation of the effect of upstream solar-wind fluctuations on solar-wind/magnetosphere coupling: Is the effect real?

There is a general consensus that fluctuations in the solar wind magnetic field and/or the Alfvenicity of the solar wind drive a solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. 11 years of hourly-averaged solar wind and magnetospheric geomagnetic indices are used to further examine this hypothesis in detail,...
