Abstract Large-scale averages of daily solar magnetograms have been compared by cross-correlation with the interplanetary magnetic sector pattern during a 2 1/2 yr interval. A significant correlation was found at a lag of about 4 1/2 days, with the amplitude of the correlation depending on the area included in the magnetogram averages. The highest correlation was found when an area of one quarter of the solar disk was used, which is consistent with the idea that the photospheric features which are to be associated with the interplanetary sector pattern are large scale features.
