A substorm is a transient phenomenon in the Earth's magnetosphere, associated with the dynamics of the auroras and magnetospheric activity. It is characterized by a sudden release of stored magnetic energy that leads to an intensification of auroral activity, typically occurring in the polar regions. Substorms are closely related to the solar wind and its interaction with the Earth's magnetic field. When the solar wind carries charged particles towards Earth, it can cause disturbances in the magnetosphere.
