abstract = "Using the continuous Dst data available since 1957 and H component
data for the Carrington space weather event of 1859, the paper
shows that the mean value of Dst during the main phase of
geomagnetic storms, called mean DstMP, is a unique parameter that
can indicate the severity of space weather. All storms having high
mean DstMP (\≤\−250 nT), which corresponds to high
amount of energy input in the magnetosphereionosphere system in
short duration, are found associated with severe space weather
events that caused all known electric power outages and telegraph
system failures.",
