The effect of polarity of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) on the absorption in and near the auroral zone was investigated by measuring a meridional chain of riometers. The mean annual absorption values were independent of sector polarity; a polarity effect occurred in the annual and diurnal variations down to L = 4.4. The 'towards polarity' (T) is associated with a strong spring maximum, and the 'away polarity' (A) correlates with the fall maximum in absorption. The analysis shows the effect of the various components of the IMF: the annual variations relate to the vertical component, and the diurnal variations in the equinoxes indicate azimuthal effects.
