Abstract :
In this presented work we study the characteristics, features and occurrence rates of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) and interplanetary shock during the rising phase of solar cycle 23 (January 1996–December 2000) and 24 (January 2008– December 2012). In particular, we give a detailed list of such events, in this given list, based on in situ observations, we consist a subsets of interplanetary shock, ICMEs and magnetic clouds corresponding with intense/ super-intense geomagnetic storms. Here we select total 67 geomagnetic storm events (50 events for solar cycle 23 and 17 events for solar cycle 24) which have Dst ≤ -75 nT. In our analysis we found that there were differences in the general properties of ICMEs between the SC 24 rising phase and same phase of the solar cycle 23. It is concluded that the geomagnetic storms during solar cycle 23 and 24 are such intense due to four major interplanetary structures (Interplanetary shock, ICMEs and magnetic clouds, southward component of IP magnetic field). On the comparison of solar cycle 23 and 24, we observed that the during the rise phase (first 5 years) of solar cycle 24, the Geomagnetic activity levels were lower than the comparable period of solar cycle 23 and ICME activities were less in the sunspot cycle 24 compared to cycle 23 during rising phase.
