REGULATION OF THE INTERPLANETARY MAGNETIC FIELD

1992
In this study we use a recently developed technique for measuring the combined magnitudes of inward and outward (sunward and antisunward) pointing 2D magnetic flux in the ecliptic plane to examine (1) the long term variation of the amount of magnetic field open to interplanetary space and (2) the apparent rate at which coronal mass ejections (CMEs) may

Sector Structure of the Quiet Interplanetary Magnetic Field

Science, 1965
Observations of the interplanetary magnetic field by the Imp-1 satellite have revealed a regular longitudinal sector structure in this field. The sectors co-rotate with the sun; as an average sector sweeps past the earth the magnitude of the interplanetary field decreases from greater than 6 gammas (1 gamma = 10 -5 ...

Counterelectrojet and interplanetary magnetic field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1978
About a dozen counterelectrojet events both in the afternoon and in the morning hours were compared with interplanetary magnetic field data. It was noticed that in three to four cases there was an association between counterelectrojets and an excursion of Bz from southward to northward.

Substorms and the interplanetary magnetic field

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1976
Although it has been established that there is a strong relationship between observed substorms and the southward component of the interplanetary field B/sub z/, there remains a controversy concerning models explaining this relationship. An analysis of a statistical study of isolated substorms and the related interplanetary fields had previously ...

The interplanetary magnetic field structure

Nature, 1976
The seasonal bias in the sector structure of the interplanetary magnetic field has led to the suggestion that the field in each hemisphere of the solar cavity has the same polarity as the average magnetic field at the corresponding solar pole, and that the surface which separates the two polarity regions is only slightly warped.

The Configuration of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field

1972
The idealized basic structure of the interplanetary magnetic field is the familiar spiral wound on a cone whose axis is the solar rotation axis. Variations in the radial velocity of the solar wind produce large scale variations in pitch; slight distortions are also produced by the non-radial component of the solar wind velocity.

Magnetic fields in the interplanetary medium

Advances in Space Research, 1982
Interplanetary magnetic field lines are attached to the Sun at one end • and their form is determined primarily by the motions of the solar wind and by the rotation of the Sun. The solar wind, in effect, carries the magnetic field lines with it as it moves radially away from the Sun, while the Sun carries the base of each line along a circle as it ...

Interplanetary magnetic field and magnetospheric substorms

Planetary and Space Science, 1977
The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) changes and the associated responses of the magnetosphere on November 1, 1972, are examined. IMF Bz changes consisted of a sudden southward turning, a slow northward turning, and a subsequent steady northward sense. Magnetospheric substorms occurred throughout this period.

Magnetic Fields in Interplanetary Space

Science, 1965
The brief period between the conception of the interplanetary magnetic field and conclusive proof of its existence has been an exciting one. Imaginative theoretical developments and careful experimental verification have both been essential to rapid progress.
