Abstract

The Catalogue of storms has been compiled from the observations of the Irkutsk Observatory (Zuy), one of the world's oldest and continuously operating observatories. The Catalogue contains a description of magnetic storms from the observations for over 46 years: 1908-1918 and 1925-1959.

The Catalogue includes all disturbances lasting about a day for which the amplitude of oscillations for H or D component exceeds 100ᵞ and 18 ', respectively. The value of Rz that as a rule is smaller than R_H and R_D, was not taken into account.

The Catalogue contains the description of 820 storms with a total duration of 39 060 hours. This is the 10.3% of the total number of hours of observations for the considered period. In Slutsk and Sverdlovsk catalogues this time is 11%, in Tashkent catalogue - 10.3%. The intensity distribution of the storms is presented as the table; for comparison, the same table displays the data of the above-mentioned catalogs.

The data are stored in the World Data Center for Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Moscow (http://www.wdcb.ru/stp/index.en.html). The data are freely accessible.
