Scientific paper

The long-term variations of the latitudinal dependence of the dominant interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) polarity is examined by focusing on the solar rotations associated with maximum spacecraft excursions from the solar equatorial plane. The latitudinal dependence of the dominant IMF polarity persisted clearly until early 1978. Results strongly dependent on the spacecraft position and outward and inward polarities were preferentially observed in the northern and southern hemispheres, respectively. During 1978, the latitudinal dependence of the field polarity became less explicit with much smaller differences between observations obtained in opposite hemispheres. Finally, during 1979 the N(+) behavior became highly erratic as actually expected from a highly irregular and rapidly evolving IMF organization. The occasional occurrence of reversing dominant polarities in both hemispheres may be related to the expected reversal of the IMF.
