Notes on the origin of the Bz-component of the interplanetary magnetic field and the geoefficiency index in Akasofu's model.
Abstract
Calculations are presented supporting the hypothesis that singularities of the Bz component are localized along the magnetic flux tubes, this localization being due to the stretching of the solar magnetic field loops by the quasi-stationary solar wind. If this hypothesis is correct, Akasofu's (1979) hypothesis of the existence of a special slow epsilon-signal in the solar wind is unnecessary.
