A two-step geospace storm as a new tool of opportunity for experimentally estimating the threshold condition for the formation of a substorm current wedge by L. F. Chernogor

“…One of the most interesting observations made in this study shows that during one of the two steps of the two-step storm, part of the near-Earth cross-tail current closed itself via the ionosphere, to which it was linked by the substorm current wedge, and manifested itself in the magnetograms acquired at equatorial and high-latitude stations on the night side of the Earth. As result, the two-step character of this storm has allowed us to suggest that the <span class="inline-formula"><i>B</i>_<i>z</i></span> interplanetary magnetic field component threshold for the formation of the substorm current wedge lies within the <span class="inline-formula">−</span>(22–30) <span class="inline-formula">nT</span> interval. …”
