Multiple studies and space physics observations confirm that variations in the solar wind, such as changes in dynamic pressure and the interplanetary magnetic field, perturb Earth's magnetosphere and drive geomagnetic storms.
The claim is a well-established empirical fact in heliophysics and space weather. Retrieved papers provide strong, direct evidence detailing the mechanisms by which solar wind parameters (e.g., CMEs, solar wind pressure, and southward IMF) couple with Earth's magnetosphere to cause geomagnetic storms. There is no evidence refuting this relationship.
