Title: Monitoring solar magnetic disturbances in power systems; A summary

Abstract

This paper discusses how concerted efforts to monitor the effects of solar magnetic disturbances (SMD) in the United States began anew after the March 13, 1989, disturbance. Previous efforts to monitor SMD were undertaken in the early 1970s. This earlier program monitored 64 different locations throughout the continental United States during the period from March 1969 to September 1972. This work was done during sunspot cycle 21 involving monitoring, effects, and mitigation of geomagnetically induced currents (GIC).
