To identify perturbations, the indices Dst and AE have been used. Fourteen storms have been analyzed,with Dst index minimum value between –50 nT and –600 nT (86% of them are great storms). The correlation coefficient, r,between AE and PC is above 0.65 for all storms analyzed. For AL index the correlation values are close to those of AE; but r is lowfor AU index.
