Introduction The interaction of the solar wind with Earth’s magnetosphere produces various phenomena, such as substorms and aurora, in the polar region. When the IMF turns southward, the energy of the solar wind is efficiently trapped by reconnection in the magnetosphere, and convection and currents within in the magnetosphere increase. The orientation of the IMF has significant effects on convection pattern and the FAC system in the magnetosphere. [Fairfied and Cahill, 1966; Reiff and Bursh, 1985: Cowley and Lockwood, 1992]. Pure Southward Pure Northw ard By T. Ogino θ Y Z

Tilt angle 0° Tilt angle 30° Effect of the dipole tilt angle When the northern hemisphere is summer, the dayside reconnection occurred slightly below the magnetic equator in the start from 30 degree. Dayside Reconnection rate : 30  tilt ~ 0.84 times 0  tilt Configuration of the magnetic field lines

Southward IMF (315°) + dipole tilt (30°) Northward IMF (45°) + dipole tilt (30°) Configuration of the magnetic field lines [Park et al. 2006, 2009] # A quasi-steady state configuration usually resulted after about 3 hours in real time. X Z X Y 1. Dusk sector (northern hemisphere) 2. Move to dawn in the dayside 3. Come back to dusk in the tail 4. Tail reconnection successively occurs in the slant and elevated plasma sheet. Effect of the dipole tilt and IMF condition

The feature is different result from the southward IMF condition [Park et al., 2006, 2009].

Northward IMF (45°) + dipole tilt (30°) In a view form the dusk In a view form the top In a view form the Sun

Northward IMF (45°) + dipole tilt (30°) Southward IMF (315°) + dipole tilt (30°) The reason of different J || in the reconnection region between the southward and northward IMF condition

Orientation of IMF and dipole tilt (30  ) Electric field |E| (E = -V  B+  J) E APN > E APS The electric field in the northern hemisphere is almost 3 times larger than that in the southern hemisphere for 45   .
