Correction to “Major geomagnetic storms (<i>Dst</i> ≤ −100 nT) generated by corotating interaction regions”

Abstract

[1] In the paper ‘‘Major geomagnetic storms (Dst 100 nT) generated by corotating interaction regions’’ by I. G. Richardson et al. (Journal of Geophysical Research, 111, A07S09, doi:10.1029/2005JA011476, 2006), there are several typographical errors. In Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7, the y component of the solar wind electric field (Ey) is plotted with the incorrect sign. Signed values of Ey referred to in the text and given in Table 1 also have the incorrect sign. As stated in the second paragraph of section 2, the ‘‘Ey’’ panel shows the value of VxBz. However, this is equal to Ey, not Ey (assuming that VxBz VzBx in the solar wind). JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 112, A12105, doi:10.1029/2007JA012332, 2007 Click Here for Full Article
