It is pointed out that over the past ten years a varied but mutually consistent set of dawn-dusk asymmetry effects have been observed to occur in the earth's magnetosphere in response to the By component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). The present investigation is concerned with the study of essentially continuous vector magnetic field data. The data were obtained during nearly one year with the aid of the UCLA magnetometer on the geostationary spacecraft ATS 6. The existence of the first IMF 'sector' effect to be reported in geostationary orbit data is demonstrated. The effect consists of the appearance of a perturbation magnetic field in the Y direction whose strength has been shown to depend upon the IMF By component. A similar result was previously obtained using geomagnetic tail data by Fairfield (1979).
