ICE and IMP-8 magnetic field data from 1984 1988 were analyzed in a magnetic coordinate system defined by the orientation of the solar magnetic dipole. The heliomagnetic latitude dependence of the radial component of the magnetic field (Br) was then investigated in the range of magnetic latitudes from 60 above and below the heliospheric current sheet. Investigators found that Br reverses sign abruptly across the current sheet, consistent with solar magnetic field models, but inconsistent with the source surface models.
ICE and IMP-8 data were analyzed in a heliomagnetic coordinate system defined by the orientation of the solar magnetic dipole. Observations were compared with several solar magnetic field models. The radial component of the magnetic field was found to reverse sign abruptly at the sector boundary; this is consistent with the sheet model, but inconsistent with source surface models .
