Interplanetary Magnetic Field → Interplanetary magnetic field – It appears the term is being presented in title case as if it were a proper noun simply because it has an acronym, which is not correct. Similar terms such as solar wind and interplanetary medium are not treated as proper nouns. WolfmanSF (talk) 03:50, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Structure required
The IMF/HMF (really the term HMF should be used) is sufficiently complex and important to merit its own page, but at present the detail is sparse. Some section heading might help people identifiy where they can contribute. I suggest:

I've added a couple of very brief sentences on that front
 * HMF formation

Parker spiral, latitudinal structure, heliospheric current sheet, corotating interaction regions, heliopause, etc
 * HMF structure

Turbulence, CMEs, etc
 * Fine-scale structure

Stepping up from seconds to millennia: turbulent eddies, rotational sector structure, solar cycles, long-term variation from geomagnetic/sunspot/radionuclide data.
 * Time variation
