Magnitude estimations of historical solar events for geomagnetic storms (Dst estimates [nT] with the contemporaneous geomagnetic measurements), solar flares (GOES ABCMX classification defined by soft X-ray (SXR) peak intensity, e.g., X1 = 1.0 × 10−4 [W m−2], Cliver et al., 2022), and SEP events (event-integrated fluence >200 MeV: F200 [cm−2]).
