Table 1

Overview of nine magnetic storms analyzed. Four red auroral events driven by CME are summarized in GROUP 1. Magnetic storms in GROUP 2 are associated with large ASYM-H index and small magnetopause distance, and without Japan aurora. Magnetic storms in GROUP 3 are associated with moderate speed and moderate density, without large ASYM-H and dynamic aurora in Japan. The magnetic storm in GROUP 4 is associated with CIR and Japan aurora. The Dst, pressure corrected Dst (Dst*) are the minimum value throughout each storm. The minimum subsolar distance of model magnetopause, peak SYM-H and ASYM-H are calculated for the time interval of Japan’s nighttime (09 UT–21 UT). Solar wind density (N), speed (V) and dynamic pressure (Pd) are calculated for the corresponding main (red) and/or recovery (blue) phase of each storm.
