Interplanetary Magnetic Fields, Photosphere

Scientific paper

How does the radial component of the heliospheric magnetic field depend on the Sun? Using extended time series of photospheric and interplanetary magnetic field data from 1976 to 1994, we confirm our earlier inference: that the temporal variation of the radial component of the undisturbed heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) in the ecliptic mainly follows the evolution of the equatorial component of the Sun's dipole field [Zhao and Hoeksema, 1995a]. Implications of this finding are not theoretically consistent with reports that Ulysses observes a complete absence of latitude dependence of the radial HMF component. Further examination of the Ulysses data is necessary to see whether there is, in fact, even a small gradient in the latitudinal distribution of the radial ambient HMF component or whether our theories need major revision.
