The rise time of geomagnetic sudden commencement (SC) in low-latitude generally lies within a range from 2 to 10 min. An SC observed on December 15, 1995 was remarkable because it had extremely long rise time of about 30 min although the jump in the solar wind dynamic pressure occurred within 90 sec. The amplitude of the SC was consistent with the estimated value experimentally deduced from the increase in the solar wind dynamic pressure, implying that the whole compression of the magnetosphere occurred. However, the geomagnetic response in high-latitude and the in-situ measurement of the magnetotail by GEOTAIL exhibited that the compression was unusually gradual compared with general SCs. The multi-satellite observations of the interplanetary disturbance and the SC signal indicated that the disturbance was highly inclined duskward. We first suggest that the orientation of interplanetary diturbance is one of most important factors determining the SC rise time.
