Abstract

The signature of the interplanetary magnetic field componentB y andB z and their effects on the low lattitude field are studied for Alibag station. It has been found that the direction and magnitude of theB y component of IMF have their signatures on the low latitude geomagnetic field, varying with the time of the day and season.
