Transpolar Convection and Magnetospheric Ring Current Relations: Real‐Time Applications of the Polar Cap (PC) Indices by Peter Stauning

“…Abstract The present study confirms the validity of previously derived relations between the polar cap (PC) indices and the ASY‐H and the Dst and SYM‐H ring current indices when used in real‐time applications. PC indices are here derived in simulated real‐time (SRT) versions by using past data only from −40 days up to current time in the construction of the quiet reference levels (QDCs) for the magnetic data. …”
