The question of the driving force behind the occurance of flux transfer events (FTEs) is still open to debate. It was recently suggested that the occurance of FTEs was related to variations in the interplanetary magnetic field, namely to north south fluctuations. The authors address this hypothesis by looking at data from ISEE spacecraft sensing FTEs in the magnetopause, and correlating this with upstream data on the IMF from ISEE 3 and IMP 8, which have been time correlated with the FTE observations. Their conclusion is that there is no obvious correlation between the appearance of FTEs and variations in the IMF.
