The evidence for transient variations in the solar wind dynamic pressure, their effect on magnetopause boundary motion, and the signatures they produce within the magnetosphere and at high-latitude auroral ground stations, are examined. A qualitative model for the magnetospheric response to such variations explaining a wide variety of transient magnetopause, magnetospheric and ground signatures is proposed, and its applicability is shown. The model is presented as an alternative explanation for many of the signatures previously interpreted as direct on site evidence of patchy, sporadic, magnetic field merging, namely the flux transfer events (FTEs).
