Abstract
The contribution of magnetospheric current systems to geomagnetic daily variations is analyzed by means of a spherical harmonic analysis (SHA) using elementary models as well as the Tsyganenko model of the magnetosphere. It is discovered that the magnetospheric contribution to some SHA coefficients is much higher than the known average value of about 20%, especially when considering non-local time terms and solstitial conditions.
