Notes. Results obtained from independent studies are synthesized in this table. Column 1: the number and the date of the GLEs. Column 2: the onset time of the first responding neutron monitor. Column 3: maximum percentage increase of the GLE (Belov et al. 2010). Column 4: the location of the parent active region. Column 5: the solar longitude of the Parker spiral footpoint. Column 6: the mean velocity of the solar wind computed on a half-day time interval for a quiet region of the IMF immediately preceding any transient magnetic structures transiting through the Earth during the GLE. Column 7: the nature of connection between the parent active region and the Parker spiral footpoint. Column 8: results of the identification of the magnetic topology of the interplanetary medium. The stars to the right of Col. 1 indicate the GLEs where interplanetary length and solar release time could be estimated (Table 2).
