A study by Sauvaud et al. (1987) on the overall magnetospheric response to a southward turning of the IMF on March 4, 1979 is discussed. Because the coupling function epsilon for the most intense substorm in their study did not show any appreciable intensification prior to the occurrence of the substorm, Sauvaud et al. concluded that the substorm was driven by a magnetospheric reservoir. It is suggested that the coupling function epsilon does not necessarily well represent the magnetospheric energization due to possible combinations of solar wind parameters that are expected to influence the coupling. Therefore, it is concluded that the main substorm studied by Sauvaud et al. was probably driven by the solar wind.
