Abstract
The solar wind electric field near the earth has been computed for ∼4½ solar rotations, utilizing Heos 2 magnetometer and particle velocity data. A clear modulation is apparent as a function of the earth's position within interplanetary sectors. The electric field rises sharply at each sector boundary from a preboundary value of ∼ 1 mV/m to peak values between ∼3 mV/m and ∼6 mV/m. A correlation is found with several phenomena in the polar cap ionosphere.
