*Title:* Magnetic Storm Intensity and Space Weather
*Speaker:* Dr Ramon E. Lopez
*Abstract:* Magnetic storms are an important component of space weather
because the disturbances that they produce in the magnetosphere and
ionosphere can have significant effects on our technology.  The traditional
measure of magnetic storm intensity is Dst, which is generally taken as a
measure of ring current intensity.  However, many of the most important
space weather effects involve the ionosphere and are driven by variations
in ionospheric currents.  In this talk, I will discuss how for many storms
the ionospheric currents are correlated with Dst, but for storms where the
solar wind magnetosonic Mach number is low, these quantities become
uncorrelated.  Therefore, for these storms, which tend to be the most
intense storms, Dst is a much less useful measure of storm intensity.  I
will also discuss the current SCOSTEP scientific program known as PRESTO,
and provide information about PRESTO activities and programs.
