Main features of the IMF sector structure during solar cycle 23

Abstract. The sector structure of interplanetary magnetic field (SS IMF) have a strong effect on the geomagnetic field variations in the polar cap. It was discovered by L. Svalgaard and S. Mansurov and used to estimate the effects of solar wind in the near earth space. The regular definition of SS I...

Description
Summary:Abstract. The sector structure of interplanetary magnetic field (SS IMF) have a strong effect on the geomagnetic field variations in the polar cap. It was discovered by L. Svalgaard and S. Mansurov and used to estimate the effects of solar wind in the near earth space. The regular definition of SS IMF was done based on the data from Resolute Bay and Vostok stations and is displayed in the table format at
