The authors report a study of relationships between the behavior of aurorae in the cusp/cleft region and variations in the solar wind pressure, and B{sub z} and B{sub y} components of the interplanetary magnetic field. Here the authors examine a time sequence of data which reveals substantial variations in the solar wind and IMF data. In particular they look at correlations to observed latitudinal shifts in the location of the aurorae, and in addition, longitudinal shifts, either east of westward dependent upon the polarity of B{sub y}.
