Overview of the G5 geomagnetic storm in May 2024 and solar wind observations from the Wind spacecraft. (a) Solar wind magnetic field strength and z-component in the geocentric solar magnetic coordinate system. (b) Solar wind proton density in black and speed on the right axis in blue. (c) Geomagnetic Hp30 index in black and Dst on the right axis in blue. (d) TLE-derived thermospheric mass density as a function of altitude. (e) Orbital decay of a fictional, GRACE-like satellite. The two vertical dashed lines show the arrival of the first interplanetary shock and the time of maximum satellite drag, respectively.
