A model is developed for the cusp-region field-aligned currents which takes into account all known data on the relationship between the field-aligned currents and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). The model regards the field-aligned currents as the superposition of various current sheets under the influence of different solar wind parameters which form a pattern of a specific region 3 of field-aligned currents located poleward of region 1 and affected by both the azimuthal and northward components of the IMF. It is shown that the recent measurements obtained from experiments on the TRIAD satellite (Saflekos and Potemra, 1979) unambiguously point to the existence of region 3. In addition, the data on the transverse magnetic disturbances from the S3-2 satellite Doyle et al., 1981) are found to accord with this model by taking into account the relations between the IMF parameters and the field-aligned current intensity.
