Fig. 4. Comparison between observed and predicted<br />

values of the correlation coefficient at Victoria.<br />

Figure 5 shows the comparison between observed and<br />

predicted values of the correlation coefficient at St John.<br />

Equation (14/ Table 2c) shows a correlation coefficient of<br />

0.988 that exists between time derivatives of the<br />

horizontal geomagnetic field, north and east components<br />

of the geoelectric field, auroral electrojet and disturbance<br />

storm time. The coefficient of determination of 0.977<br />

which implies 97.7% of time derivatives of the horizontal<br />

geomagnetic field can be accounted for by using the<br />

auroral electrojet index, disturbance storm time, and the<br />

north and east components of the geoelectric field.<br />
