  "abstract": "Here I show how it is possible to make an empirical fit of yearly sets of Dst index values to the log-normal distribution, using the Kullback-Liebler divergence to test each fit performance. Further, since any real sequence of Dst values contains correlation with the near-past, I also compute autocorrelations in order to understand the timescales over which it retains memory.",
