An observed influence of the interplanetary magnetic‐sector structure on the geomagnetic variations in the polar cap appears to be due to the component of the interplanetary magnetic field near the ecliptic perpendicular to the earth‐sun direction. This suggests that the observed effect on the ground originates in the front of the magnetosphere.
