Scientific paper

The relation of the Dst index to universal time and to the lunar phase is examined. The Dst index calculated by Sugiura and Poros (1971; 1973) is shown to have a semidiurnal variation. This variation is attributed to the effects of tides in the dynamo region, verifying the theoretically predicted effect of polarization electric fields produced in the dynamo region on the distribution and energy of magnetospheric particles.
