Declination and horizontal component of the geomagnetic field have been studied using the data of L'Aquila's Geomagnetic Observatory (a focus observatory). Two methods of analysis were used to investigate the S variation. (1) two full solar cycles from 1959 to 1981 had 2600 days with Ap of less than 7 and no Kp of greater than 2 intervals that were analyzed using a Fourier harmonic analysis on hourly means; and (2) all hourly mean values with no corrections from the 1960 to 1981 time period were input to a Chapman-Miller analysis which gives both S and L variations. While declination gives very small differences with the two methods, the horizontal component shows a remarkable difference. The comparison of the two methods can give information on the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. The possibility that rather irregular prevailing winds affect the H component daily variation is discussed.
