An improved model of the heliospheric magnetic field configuration is presented by including a uniform interstellar magnetic field and by adopting different values for a few magnetic field parameters. All the basic expressions for the magnetic field components remain the same as in Akasofu et al. (1980). In the magnetic arcade field, the magnetic field of the spherical dipoles is changed from 500 to 50 G. In the field of an extensive current disk around the sun lying in the ecliptic plane, the solar current disk extends from a distance of 1.5 solar radii instead of 10 solar radii. A uniform and southward directed interstellar magnetic field of 0.22 gamma is included. The total magnetic field configuration is constructed for the northward and southward orientation of the solar dipole field.
