We use the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) Geospace configuration to simulate a total of 122 storms from the period 2010-2019. With the focus on the storm main phase, each storm period was run for 54 hours starting from 6 hours prior to the start of the Dst depression. The simulation output of ground magnetic variations were compared with ground magnetometer station data provided by SuperMAG to statistically assess the Geospace model regional prediction performance. Our results show that the regional predictions at mid-latitudes are quite accurate, but the high-latitude regional disturbances are still difficult to predict due to the complexity of the magnetosphere – ionosphere coupling processes.
