During magnetic storms, wind disturbances produced by auroral phenomena can affect the whole thermospheric circulation and associated ionospheric dynamo currents for many hours after the end of the storms. In this paper we define criteria to select a new simple type of ionospheric disturbance dynamo events that allow a simple interpretation over all longitude sectors. These events exhibit a weak auroral activity during at least 24 UT hours, on the day after the storm. We analyze the magnetic disturbances ``Ddyn'' observed at equatorial latitudes in the three longitude sectors of such selected events. It is found for all the cases that the amplitude of the H component of the Earth's magnetic field is reduced, on the day after storm at equatorial latitudes, in agreement with the ionospheric disturbance dynamo model (Blanc and Richmond, 1980). The observation of H component decrease on the day after storm is longitudinally asymmetric. The observed signature of the ionospheric disturbance dynamo process in a specific longitude sector is strongly dependent on the magnitude, the start time, and the duration of the storm.
