Popis: § 1. The study of the 27-day recurrence-tendency of magnetic storms is one of the methods of investigation of the relationship between geomagnetic and heliophysical phenomena and, at the same time, a means of investigating the nature of magnetic storms. During recent years the investigation of this phenomenon has acquired also a practical interest in connection with the attempts to predict magnetic disturbances undertaken by some magnetic observatories of the Soviet Union. The 27-day recurrence-tendency, discovered by Broun [see 1 of “References” at end of paper] as far back as 1858, attracted the attention of a number of investigators. The chief results concerning the dependence of the recurrence upon the intensity of the disturbance, as well as the more precise definition of the length of the recurrence-interval and its fluctuation during the 11-year cycle of solar activity, we owe to the works of Maunder, Chree, Stagg, Greaves and Newton, and Archenhold. The aim of the present work is to verify the results of the former investigators on the basis of the recently completed Sloutzk catalogue of magnetic storms [2].
