Abstract:
The paper analyzes the possibility of constructing an analogue of the Dst index using data from Russian geomagnetic observatories. A comparative analysis of the values of the Dstindex calculated by the classical method (according to data from 4 near-equatorial stations: Hermanus, Kakioka, Honolulu and San Juan) with the values of the Dst-index calculated according to data exclusively from Russian stations is carried out.
