The flare-related coronal transient of November 27, 1979, the resulting interplanetary (IP) shock, and the associated auroral and magnetic effects observed from the ground are discussed. The observed disturbance of the IMF resulting from the coronal mass injection is interpreted with respect to a model of flare-related perturbations of the solar current sheet. Although the IP shock was not followed by a major storm, distinct signatures related to the IP disturbance were noted. It is suggested that the sharp IMF B(y) polarity change observed following the shock arrival is the effect of a kinky heliospheric current sheet. DPY signatures in the winter and summer hemispheres have been shown. It is suggested that certain of the observed auroral dynamics are related to a series of impulsive plasma injections into the cusp region of the magnetosphere after the IP shock arival.
