The occurrence rate of magnetospheric‐substorm onsets: Random and periodic substorms
Abstract
Particle‐injection events are monitored on three geosynchronous satellites to determine the occurrences of magnetospheric substorms: for every consecutive pair of substorms found, the time interval Δ t between substorm onsets is determined. In this manner, 1001 values of Δ t are obtained. A statistical analysis of the Δ t values finds that the most‐probable time between substorms onsets is Δ t ≈ 2.75 hours: this is interpreted to be the period between substorms when substorms occur cyclically. The statistical analysis of the Δ t values also finds a random probability for the occurrence of substorms with a mean time between random substorms of about 5 hours: it is speculated that this random occurrence may be caused by a property of the solar wind that varies randomly with an approximately 5‐hour time scale. About 1500 substorms occur per year: about half are periodic and about half occur randomly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
