  Data obtained over the last three solar cycles have been analysed to reveal
the relationships between the intensity of the photospheric field measured
along the line of sight by the WSO group at heliolatitudes from -75 to 75
degrees and the intensity of the interplanetary magnetic field and absolute
values of the perturbations of the different characteristics of the solar wind
at the Earth orbit, and geomagnetic parameters. provided by the OMNI team.
  The heliospheric and geomagnetic data are found to be divided into two groups
characterized by their response to variability of the solar magnetic field
latitudinal structures on short and on long time scales.
