The effect of southward or northward changes in the interplanetary magnetic field is examined statistically in the nightside magnetosphere over the range of 6.6 to 80R E from the Earth. After southward changes, the deformation of the magnetosphere toward a greater antisunward extension of field lines occurs at 6.6R E with ≲10 min delay and spreads down the tail to 80R E in ≲30 min. Around the onset of the field-line collapse that occurs 1 2 hr later, the southwarddirected field is observed briefly in the distant tail. The effect of northward changes could not be recognized in the lobe region of the tail.
