Proceedings of the 7th International Conference "Problems of Geocosmos" (St. Petersburg, Russia, 26-30 May 2008)<br />

The presented data demonstrate complex structure of the geomagnetic storm, which comprises several<br />

disturbed periods. On 2 September between 4 and 6 UT all stations registered very strong short magnetic<br />

disturbance (duration t1=1-2 hours). Magnetometers at all stations, except Nerchinsk, went out of scale. The<br />

available 2.5-min data in Ekaterinburg allows to establish exact moment of the storm beginning: at 9:52 LT<br />

(5:42 UT).<br />

Figure 2. Hourly data for H-component on 1-5 September, 1859 (variations from mean value of the period).<br />

For St. Petersburg and Ekaterinburg the three short thick lines are the minimal and maximal H during the<br />

Carrington event taken from 5-min data.<br />
