                         filtering and reconstruction technique and apply this to the solar 
                         wind magnetic field components detected at the L1 Lagrange point 
                         \∼ 0.01 AU upstream of the Earth. These filtered 
                         interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) data are fed into a model to 
                         calculate a time series which we call AE\∗ . This model was 
                         adjusted assuming that magnetic reconnection associated with 
                         southward-directed IMF Bz is the main mechanism transferring 
                         energy into the magnetosphere. The calculated AE\∗ was 
                         compared to the observed AE (auroral electrojet) index using 
                         cross-correlation analysis. The results show correlations as high 
                         as 0.90. Empirical removal of the high-frequency, short-wavelength 
                         Alfv{\'e}nic component in the IMF by wavelet decomposition is 
                         shown to dramatically improve the correlation between AE\∗ 
                         and the observed AE index. It is envisioned that this AE\∗ 
                         can be used as the main input for a model to forecast relativistic 
                         electrons in the Earths outer radiation belts, which are delayed 
                         by \∼ 1 to 2 days from intense AE events.",
