Correlation between the solar wind speed and the passage of poleward-moving auroral forms into the polar cap

In 1961, Dungey suggested that magnetic reconnection occurs due to the solar-terrestrial interaction. The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is thought to merge with Earth’s geomagnetic field (GMF).
