β¦ Synopsis
The autocorrelation functions of the solar wind velocity and of the IMF components as well as of the geomagnetic activity indices are studied for two periods: August-December, 1965 and January-May, 1974. The vertical component of the IMF is shown to exhibit a rather definite recurrency relatively independent of the recurrency of the solar wind velocity.
The daily mean values of the Z-component of the IMF are shown to correlate (p = -0.5) with the intensity of the meridional component of the large scale solar magnetic field with time delay of about 5 days with respect to the latter. This result is interpreted as an evidence for the Z-component of the IMF to be carried away by the solar wind from the Sun.

The mean photospheric magnetic field of the sun seen as a star has been compared with the interplanetary magnetic field observed with spacecraft near the earth. Each change in polarity of the mean solar field is followed about 4 89 days later by a change in polarity of the interplanetary field (sect
A simple model is used to present a unified picture of the polarity pattern of the interplanetary magnetic field observed during the solar cycle. Emphasis in this paper is on the field near solar maximum. The heliographic latitude dependence of the dominant polarity of the interplanetary magnetic fi
Power spectra based on Pioneer 6 interplanetary magnetic field data in early 1966 exhibit a frequency dependence off ~ in the range 2.8 β’ 10 -4 to 1.6 β’ 10 2cps for periods of both quiet and disturbed field conditions. Both the shape and power levels of these spectra are found to be due to the prese
