abstract = "We present a study on the solar cycle distribution of geomagnetic
storms.We have determined the number of storms per year within
several Dst ranges, from 1957 to 2002. Moderate storms have showed
a peak near solar cycle maxima. As the storm intensity rises,
however, a dual peak distribution starts to appear. The strongest
storm distributions have peaks just before solar maximum and
around the descending solar cycle phase. There seems to be a trend
for weaker cycles to have a lower number of storms, of any
intensity. Very intense magnetic storms can occur more frequently
around solar maximum and declining phases. The variation of the
southward component of the interplanetary magnetic field with
solar cycle epoch is also investigated in this work.",
