RECURRENT GEOMAGNETIC STORMS, SOLAR M-REGIONS AND THE SOLAR WIND
Journal Article

· Planetary Space Sci.
Evidence is reviewed indicating that the main features of geomagnetic storms of both types are caused by frictional interaction with the solar wind rather than by mere pressure on the geomagnetic cavity. If this is so then recurrent or M-region storms are caused by a property of the (steady) solar wind, which controls the frictional interaction. This property is the component of the interplanetary magnetic field in the geomagnetic equatorial plane. Hence M- regions are regions above which (projected along the streamlines) the magnetic field is unusually weak or lies nt an angle approximates pi /2 to this plane. (auth)
