Details of the SSSs identified during the May 2024 superstorm.

SSS number Onseta (date UT) SSS peak
Delayb (h) Storm phasec
SML intensity (nT) Time (date UT)
SSS 1 10 May 19:07 −3639 10 May 19:18 −6.92 MP
SSS 2 10 May 19:34 −4456 10 May 19:48 −6.42 MP
SSS 3 11 May 08:49 −3497 11 May 09:00 +6.77 RP
SSS 4 11 May 09:31 −3432 11 May 09:47 +7.57 RP
SSS 5 11 May 12:20 −2637 11 May 12:45 +10.52 RP
SSS 6 11 May 12:58 −2786 11 May 13:32 +11.30 RP

Notes. a Onset refers to the SSS expansion phase onset time determined from the sharp decrease in the SML index. b Delay is estimated from the occurrence time of the geomagnetic storm SYM-H peak = −518 nT to the SSS SML peak time. c MP and RP refer to the geomagnetic storm main phase and recovery phase, respectively.
