It has been widely accepted that the principal cause of the enhanced magnetospheric convection during the main phase of geomagnetic storms is due to increasements in the dawn - dusk component of the interplanetary electric field, which depends on the negative Bz-component (Bs) of the interplanetary magnetic field and on the solar wind velocity. This work shows results focused to find out a general relationship between Bs, the intensity of the magnetic storm characterized by the pressure corrected Dst index, and the associated time intervals. The results were obtained selecting and analyzing approximately 300 geomagnetic storm events from the OMNI dataset (1974 - 1996). In this study are estimated and tested for different levels of storms, the period when the Bz-component is negative below a certain threshold value, the duration of the main phase, and the half time of the recovery phase. Correlations between different phases of the solar cycle are also shown.
