Abstract

In studying solar-terrestrial relationships, it is important to recognize first of all that there is the basic solar-interplanetary magnetic field structure which has been revealed by two important discoveries during the last two decades. The first is the sector structure of the magnetic field at the photospheric level and the second is the interplanetary magnetic field sector structure (Ness and Wilcox, 1967; Severny et al., 1970).
