Abstract A modeling of the corrected (taking into account the magnetopause currents [9]) D st * index during the main phase of magnetic storms generated by four types of the solar wind (SW), namely MC (10 storms), CIR (28 storms), Sheath (21 storms), and Ejecta (31 storms), is performed similarly to our previous work on the simple D st index [8]. The “Catalog of large-scale solar wind phenomena during 1976–2000” ([1], ftp://ftp.iki.rssi.ru/pub/omni/ ) prepared on the basis of the OMNI database, was used for the identification of SW types. The time behavior of D st * is approximated by a linear dependence on the integral electric field (sumE y ), dynamic pressure (P d ), and fluctuation level (sB) of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Three types of D st * modeling are performed: (1) by individual values of the approximation coefficients; (2) by approximation coefficients averaged over SW type, and (3) in the same way as in (2) but with allowance for the D st *-index values preceding the beginning of the main phase of the magnetic storm. The results of modeling the corrected D st * index are compared to modeling of the usual D st index. In the conditions of a strong statistical scatter of the approximation coefficients, the use of D st instead of D st * insignificantly influences the accuracy of the modeling and correlation coefficient.
