abstract = "For the intense magnetic storm of 28 August 1978 it is shown that
the power transfer from the solar wind to the magnetosphere is
well represented by the expression obtained by Vasyliunas et al.
(1982, Planet. Space Sci. 30, 359)from dimensional analysis, but
this representation becomes improved when such an expression is
modified by a factor due to an influence of the lifetime of ring
current particles as suggested by Lee and Akasofu (1984, Planet.
Space Sci. 32, 1423). During a steady state regime of the ring
current evolution of this storm, our study suggests that the power
transfer depends on the solar wind density, the transverse
component of the IMF (with respect to the Sun-Earth line)and also,
explicitly, on the time constant for ring current energy decay,
but not on the solar wind speed.",
