there are inconsistencies from one storm to the next. Empirical models have
provided a useful procedure for estimating the general behavior of ionospheric
storms. Global electrodynamics can provide a macroview of the important
phenomena, and along with empirical data for verification, may be the way
forward and lead to a more fulsome understanding. Studies of storm behavior
