Abstract The influence of auroral electojets and solar wind parameters on variations in low-latitude geomagnetic disturbances and D st during strong magnetic storms on November 7–8, 2004 with D st ≈ −380 nT and on November 9–10, 2004 with D st ≈ −300 nT is studied on the basis of global geomagnetic observations. It is found that the impulsive variations of the western electrojet intensity with a duration of Δt ≈ 1–2 h (probably, substorm disturbances) lead to positive low-latitude disturbances of ΔH at Φ′ ≈ 10°–30° and to disturbances of the same durations with an amplitude +ΔH ∼ 30–100 nT at latitudes of the polar cap (Φ′ ≈ 75°–80°). More durable (with Δt ≥ 10 h) convection electrojets whose centers are shifted to latitudes of ∼50°–55° in the process of storm development are the main cause of the increase in negative values of ΔH at low latitudes and D st . It is shown that meridional dynamics of position of the center of electrojets and the equatorial boundary of the auroral oval is governed by variations (increase or decrease) in the intensity of negative values of the IMF B z component. It is assumed that in these storms the intensification of the magnetospheric partially ring current closes the circuit to the ionosphere with the help of field-aligned currents at the equatorial boundary of the auroral oval is the main cause of the magnetic field depression at low latitudes.
