Description
The May 2024 superstorm (SYM-H peak = –518 nT) was characterized by a three-step main phase, a long and strong recovery phase, and six isolated supersubstorms (SSSs; SML < –2500 nT). The events were associated with multiple interplanetary sheaths and magnetic clouds. In this presentation, we will discuss unique interplanetary phenomena leading to the events, distinguished geomagnetic features, and extreme magnetospheric-ionospheric impacts of the events. Comparisons with previous extreme events in the space age will be presented as well.
