Аннотация: The purpose of the paper is to assess the energy parameters of physical processes, starting from the solar storm on April 21, 2023, and ending with the disturbance of the Earth’s lithosphere on April 23—24, 2023. The energy of processes in all subsystems of the Sun — interplanetary medium — magnetosphere — ionosphere — atmosphere — lithosphere system is analyzed. A comparative analysis of this storm with an extreme storm was carried out. The uniqueness of the storm on April 23—24, 2023, was that the auroral zone shifted to mid-latitudes up to 50°. The international brightness scale of aurora has been improved. An energy scale for auroras has been proposed. |
