Scientific paper

Magnetic reconnection has been considered as the unique physical mechanism involved in energy transference from solar wind to magnetosphere. However, theoretical models of geomagnetic indices based on reconnection do not forecast properly geomagnetic activity suggesting that other mechanisms are implicated. The joint analysis of interplanetary data and geomagnetic activity data evidence the existence of an extra mechanism implicated in Sun-Earth interaction, which operates when the frequency of southern interplanetary magnetic field is of the order of 10-3 to 10-4 Hz.
