Two of the eight activity indices, a1-a8, in the subauroral zones of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere are utilized to study the local time dependence of the N-S asymmetry of geomagnetic activity due to the By component of the IMF. It is observed that the magnitude of the N-S asymmetry of geomagnetic activity due to the IMF-By component is dependent on the magnetic local time and there are two types of dependence which relate to the level of substorm activity. The first type has a dawn-dusk asymmetry which is evident when the geomagnetic activity is low; the positive By varies the intensification of the southern and northern magnetic activity. The second type of dependence controls the majority of the N-S asymmetry geomagnetic activity; the magnitude of the effects of IMF-By increases with the level of substorm activity. This second type of dependence forms a double peak structure in magnitude along the magnetic local time; one peak at premidnight and the other in early morning.
