Short summary

We study a model for the relationship between space plasma and geomagnetic activity, by using an MHD shell model, where its forcing has been replaced by solar wind fluctuation data. We study the fractality of the forcing, its output, and the activity of the model, which may represent the existence of geomagnetic storms. We find correlations between some of these metrics and the solar cycle, suggesting that the complexity of the solar wind may have influence on the level of geomagnetic activity.
