magnetic storm

A perturbation of the Earth's magnetic field, caused by solar disturbances, usually lasting for a brief period (several days) and characterized by large deviations from the usual value of at least one component of the field. Note: Magnetic storms can affect radio propagation because they disturb the ionosphere.
