Scientific paper
The paper reviews recent developments in the understanding of the solar-wind magnetosphere interaction process in which the interplanetary magnetic field has been found to play a key role. Extensive correlative studies between the interplanetary magnetic field and the magnetospheric parameters have in the past few years yielded detailed information on the nature of the interaction process and have made it possible to follow the sequence of events that are produced inside the magnetosphere in consequence of the solar-wind energy transfer. A summary is given of the observed effects of the interplanetary magnetic field, its north-south and east-west components in particular, found in various domains of the magnetosphere: dayside magnetopause, polar cap, magnetotail, auroral zone. An overall picture is presented of the solar-wind magnetosphere interaction process. Dungey's (1961) reconnected magnetosphere model is used as a frame of reference and the basic compatibility of the observations with this model is emphasized.
