Magnetic Flux of EUV Arcades and Dimmings as a Relevant Parameter . ... We study events of the 23th cycle, in which major non-recurrent geomagnetic storms (GMS) with Dst < - 100 nT are sufficiently reliably identified with their solar sources in the central part of the disk. ... Figure 3: FD magnitude vs. eruptive magnetic flux . Figure 4: Geomagnetic storm intensiry (Dst index) vs. eruptive magnetic flux . Figure 5: Geomagnetic storm onset and peak transit times vs. eruptive magnetic flux . ...
