Explicit IMF By Dependence in Geomagnetic Activity: Modulation of Precipitating Electrons

Abstract The most important driver of geomagnetic activity is the north–south ( Bz) component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), which dominates the solar wind‐magnetosphere coupling and all solar wind coupling functions. While the east–west ( By) IMF component is also included in most coup...
