  One of the most promising areas of research in solar-terrestrial physics is
the comparison of the responses of the magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere
system to various interplanetary disturbances (the so-called <<interplanetary
drivers>>). Numerous studies show that different types of drivers cause a
different reaction of the system for identical IMF variations. At the same
time, the number of incorrect approaches in this direction of research has
increased. These errors can be attributed to 4 large classes. (1) The first
class includes works whose authors uncritically reacted to previously published
works with incorrect driver identification and use incorrect results in their
work. (2) Some authors used the wrong criteria and incorrectly determined the
types of drivers. (3) Very often, authors associate the disturbance of the
magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere system caused by a complex driver (by a
sequence of single drivers) with one of the drivers, ignoring the complex
nature. For example, magnetic storm are often caused by compression region
Sheath in front of the interplanetary CME (ICME), but the authors consider this
events as so-called <<CME-induced>> storm, not <<Sheath-induced>> storm. (4)
Finally, there is a <<lost driver>> of magnetospheric disturbances: some
authors simply do not consider the compression region Sheath before ICME if
there is no interplanetary shock (IS) before Sheath, although this type of
driver, <<Sheath without IS>>, generates about 10% of moderate and strong
magnetic storms.
