abstract = "We study the solar cycle and seasonal dependences of
high-intensity, long-duration, continuous AE activity (HILDCAA)
events and associated solar wind/interplanetary external drivers
for ~312 solar cycle period, from 1975 to 2011. 99 HILDCAAs which
had simultaneous solar wind/interplanetary data are considered in
the present analyses. The peak occurrence frequency of HILDCAAs
was found to be in the descending phase of the solar cycle. These
events had the strongest time-integrated AE intensities and were
coincident with peak occurrences of high-speed solar wind streams.
The event initiations were statistically coincident with
high-to-slow speed stream interactions, compressions in the solar
wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). The latter
were corotating interaction regions (CIRs). The signatures of
related CIRs were most prominent for the events occurring during
the descending and solar minimum phases of the solar cycles. For
these events, the solar wind speed increased by ~41% and ~57%
across the CIRs, respectively. There was weak or no stream-stream
interaction or CIR structure during the ascending and solar
maximum phases. HILDCAAs occurring during spring and fall seasons
were found to occur preferentially in negative and positive IMF
sector regions (toward and away from the Sun), respectively.",
