The local time variation of the ssc (storm sudden commencement) amplitude is examined using 81 such commencements observed with GOES satellites in geostationary orbit. The ssc amplitudes at synchronous altitude are found to exhibit a strong local time dependence, in contrast to the findings of earlier observations in the magnetosphere. In most of the cases observed in the daytime during 0600-1500 LT, the amplitude ratios (satellite amplitude/ground amplitude) are greater than unity. The ssc amplitude tends to become very small near midnight in comparison with that on the ground. Even a decrease in total force sometimes is seen in the midnight region. This indicates that magnetic compression does not always occur in the magnetic equator near synchronous orbit. The implications of these ssc characteristics are discussed insofar as they relate to phenomena associated with storm sudden commencements.
