Table 1

Overview of a selection of ICME events that were used for validation purposes. For each event, we list the geomagnetic index Dst, the detected min B_z component, the prediction value of SODA, the observed orbit decay using external density data, and finally the solution based on the predicted solar and geomagnetic indices. Remarks: (i) ^* refers to a combined observed solution of the ICMEs on February 1 and 3 in 2022. (ii) for the indicated event in April 2023, we used our own density estimates since no external data were available.
