The hourly values of solar wind parameters and AE indices at times when the IMF has a strong northward component are used to study the dependence of AE on the value of the IMF (B) and on the temporal trends of the solar-wind velocity (V). In any randomly chosen statistical set of data, the dependence of AE on B is substantially modified by spurious effects related to the structure of the solar-wind streams. In particular, the leveling off of AE at high values of B is spurious; d(AE)/dB is positive for all values of B. AE values corresponding to negative dV/dt are lower than AE values corresponding to positive dV/dt. This effect is caused by physical processes involving the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling.
