<p class="Default">Geomagnetic storms are recognized as a worldwide decrease of the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field measured at middle- and low-latitude magnetometers. The variations in the geomagnetic field during geomagnetic storms can be reproduced by changes in the interplanetary magnetic field and the solar wind velocity. Wavelet analysis, a useful statistical tool for analyzing variability has been used for this study. Wavelet transforms seem to be suited to analyze short-lived high-frequency phenomena such as discontinuities (shocks) in signals and transient structures. Wavelet analysis employed in the present work helps to decompose the time series of scales of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF-Bz) into different scales. To identify geomagnetic storms, the equatorial index, SYM-H has been used. The increase of wavelet coefficient amplitudes of the IMF-Bz is well correlated with the arrival of the shock and sheath region</p><p><strong>Journal of Nepal Physical Society</strong><em><br /></em>Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2017: 119-124</p>

Abstract. It is well-known that interplanetary magnetic clouds can cause strong geomagnetic storms due to the high magnetic field magnitude in their interior, especially if there is a large negative Bz component present. In addition, the magnetic disturbances around such objects can play an important role in their "geo-effectiveness". On the other hand, the magnetic and flow fields in the CME sheath region in front of the body and in the rear of the cloud are important for understanding both the dynamics and the evolution of the interplanetary cloud. The "eventual" aim of this work is to calculate the magnetic field in this CME sheath region in order to evaluate the possible geo-efficiency of the cloud in terms of the maximum |Bz|-component in this region. In this paper we assess the potential of this approach by introducing a model with a simplified geometry. We describe the magnetic field between the CME shock surface and the cloud's boundary by means of a vector potential. We also apply our model and present the magnetic field distribution in the CME sheath region in front of the body and in the rear of the cloud formed after the event of 20 November 2003.

Abstract. An analysis of the low frequency geomagnetic field fluctuations at an Antarctic (Terra Nova Bay) and a low latitude (L'Aquila, Italy) station during the Earth's passage of a coronal ejecta on April 11, 1997 shows that major solar wind pressure variations were followed at both stations by a high fluctuation level. During northward interplanetary magnetic field conditions and when Terra Nova Bay is close to the local geomagnetic noon, coherent fluctuations, at the same frequency (3.6 mHz) and with polarization characteristics indicating an antisunward propagation, were observed simultaneously at the two stations. An analysis of simultaneous measurements from geosynchronous satellites shows evidence for pulsations at approximately the same frequencies also in the magnetospheric field. The observed waves might then be interpreted as oscillation modes, triggered by an external stimulation, extending to a major portion of the Earth's magnetosphere. Key words.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the association of the geomagnetic storms with the IMF for solar cycle 24. Result of the present analysis shows that IMF is geoeffective parameter but its impact varies in accordance with different time periods. The correlation coefficient between Dst and IMF found to be -0.6 for solar cycle 24.
