Scientific paper

The sector structure of the IMF has been known for some time to produce asymmetries in polar cap convection and the associated ionospheric current systems. Recent work has shown these effects to extend into the dayside auroral oval, where a restricted region of local times (the convection throat) is found to move to either side of the noon meridian in response to changes in the IMF By component. The problem of entry of solar wind plasma into the magnetosphere continues to a prime area of interest. Effects of the IMF on the nightside auroral oval and the plasmapause are also discussed.
