%X This research provides an analysis of extreme events in the solar wind and in the magnetosphere
due to disturbances of the solar wind. Extreme value theory has been applied to a 20-year data set from the
Advanced Composition Explorer spacecraft for the period 1998–2017. The solar proton speed, solar proton
temperature, solar proton density, and magnetic field have been analyzed to characterize extreme events in
the solar wind. The solar wind electric field, vBz
 has been analyzed to characterize the impact from extreme
disturbances in the solar wind to the magnetosphere. These extreme values were estimated for 1-in-40- and
1-in-80-year events, which represent two and four times the range of the original data set. The estimated values
were verified in comparison with measured values of extreme events recorded in previous years. Finally, our
research also suggests the presence of an upper boundary in the magnitudes under study.
