Relationships between the clock angle of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and each of the AL and AU indices are examined under various Earth's dipole tilt angles using the observational data for a period of 1978 to 1988. This study is performed by correlating the interplanetary magnetic field data obtained from the IMP 8 satellite, the AL and AU indices with the corrected seasonal variations, and the dipole tilt angle. It is found that for any value of the IMF clock angle, the values of AL and AU decrease when the dipole tilt angle becomes larger. It suggests that the geomagnetic activities strongly depend on the dipole tilt angle. Furthermore, our results are consistent with the semiannual variation of the geomagnetic activity and the predicted relationships between the geomagnetic activity, the IMF clock angle, and the dipole tilt angle, derived from the MHD simulation.
