Abstract:The concepts of near-pole magnetic field variations during magnetically quiet periods are explored, with special emphasis on the relationships of these variations to interplanetary magnetic field components. Methods are proposed for relating the variations which have been observed to the fields from the various sources, based on a thorough selection of reference levels. We assume that the field variations in the summer polar cap during magnetically quiet periods consist of the following components: (i) the middle-latitude S qvariation extended to the polar region; (ii) the DPC(B y) single-cell current system with a polar electrojet in day-side cusp latitudes; (iii) the DMC(B z) two-cell current system of magnetospheric convection, in the form of a homogeneous current sheet in the polar cap towards the sun, with return currents through lower latitudes; (iv) the DPC(B z) single-cell counterclockwise current system with a focus in the day-side cusp region. Quantitative relations between the near-pole variation intensities and the value and sign of the IMF azimuthal component, with a 1 hr time resolution, have been obtained and used to suggest ways of diagnosing the interplanetary magnetic field on the basis of ground observations.
