The Connection of Geomagnetic Activity and Weather Formation in Georgian Region

Abstract

Geomagnetic storm is major disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere that occurs when the solar wind enters into the space environment surrounding Earth. The largest storms are associated with solar coronal mass ejections (CME) and take several days to arrive at Earth. Geomagnetic indices are important parameter in weather forecasting methods. The correlation between geomagnetic storms and meteorological elements (temperature, precipitation, wind) have been identified for Georgian region using meteorological observation and NASA’s SDO and NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center data.
