During the aurora events of the year 2000 I found a lot of information about this phenomenon on the internet. With this page I try to give a summarized list of th information sources. This should help to avoid unnecessary searches on the internet during coming events. In contrast to many other webpages, I am not including lots of graphics here, but only give the links to the original sources. With many link I give examples on my local webspace, displaying the individual plot or website as it looked during the extrem class G5 storm of 2000 July 15/16. The order of the given list is just random and has no special meaning.
