The purpose of this study is to examine magnetospheric responses to periods of relatively steady negative Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). In particular, we wish to determine whether these intervals result in periodic tail loading-unloading or a transition, at some low value of negative Bz to steady magnetospheric convection. Magnetic cloud events during 1995 -- 2002 identified by the WIND/MFI team were searched for intervals when IMF Bz was southward more than five hours with a standard deviation less than 20% of the average Bz. We will present an overview of the 7 events meeting these criteria for which Geotail, IMP8, or Interball data were available. Examples of both steady magnetospheric convection and periodic loading-unloading were found. Conditions leading to the development of these magnetospheric states will be discussed.
