This communication describes a type of sudden commencement of magnetic storms not previously discussed in the literature. This type of sudden commencement occurs at higher latitudes, and its characteristics have been studied in magnetograms made at Point Barrow (71.3°N, 156.8°W; gm 68°N), College (64.9°N, 147.8°W; gm 65°N), Cheltenham (38.7°N, 76.8°W; gm 50°N), Tucson (32.3°N, 110.8°N; gm 40°N), San Juan (18.4°N, 66.1°W; gm 30°N), and Honolulu (21.3°N, 158.1°W; gm 21°N), during the period from July 1949 to March 1956.
During that period, 44 sudden commencements were observed. Twenty-one of them, observed at higher latitudes, were characterized by a small negative impulse preceding the main positive impulse in the horizontal component, and thus were designated as −Sc (usually denoted by the symbol Sc*).
