Comparison of CME and CIR driven storms based on observations made by TWINS

ORAL

Abstract

The analysis of data collected from the TWINS missions for an intense CME driven storm on September 26 2011 and a CIR driven storm on October 13 2012 will be presented. Geomagnetic storms are categorized into two different groups' Coronal mass ejection, CME, and corotating interaction regions, CIR, driven storms. For CME driven storms, there are intense and moderate storms based on their magnetic intensity, moderate is -78Dst anything below is categorized as an intense CME storm driver.
