Compression fluctuations of the magnetospheric magnetic field travel across magnetic field lines with little attenuation. Thus when the solar wind dynamic pressure is highly fluctuating, the magnetosphere fills with magnetic fluctuations. Examining the Polar magnetic records during the October/November 2003 storms we find that power levels in the frequency bands that resonate with the drift motion of inner zone relativistic electrons increased up to nearly 2000 times the power at quiet times. This activity correlated with enhanced radial diffusion and the formation of a new inner zone electron belt at energies above 1 MeV. Polar magnetic data are also examined at other times when lower rates of diffusion were observed.
