I would like to compare that diagram with a long term Bz record and then compare the combined dataset to temperature, SST, and other climate measures to see if there is a correlation.
-
Whenever the Bz is negative (whenever the horizontal IMF component is oriented southward), the IMF combines with the magnetosphere in such a way as to create geomagnetic disturbances and ionospheric storms.
-
Thank you Newforest and Lisa Bz for your clear explanations.
-
Firstly, it depends on the By- and Bz-components of the IMF, and, secondly, it has a negative dawn-dusk component that depends only on Bz, and the north-southward component that depends only on By.

The authors identify an asymmetric trend in the orientation of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) that results in long periods of time where the north-south (Bz) component of the field favors one orientation over the other.
-
In particular, the Bz component of the IMF leads to strong aurora activity at the poles when it is strongly south oriented.
-
The traditional thinking had been that Bz fluctuated back and forth randomly around zero and balanced out.
