Table 1.

Characteristics of GIC30 as a function of |dH/dt|30 at selected geomagnetic observatories. Columns (90–99% etc.) refer to a set of sorted |dH/dt|30 values. For example, the first column is for |dH/dt|30 belonging to the largest 10% of all values excluding the top 1%. For each observatory, we consider a specific grid model indicated below the observatory code. The three rows for each observatory contain the following information: range of |dH/dt|30, mean and standard deviation of GIC30, range of GIC30. The insert table gives corrected geomagnetic coordinates (CGM) calculated for the year 2002 (http://omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/vitmo/cgm_vitmo.html).
