Detection of a plasmaspheric wind in the Earth's magnetosphere by the Cluster spacecraft [PDF]
, 2013 . Plumes, forming at the plasmapause and released outwards, constitute a well-established mode for plasmaspheric material release to the Earth's magnetosphere. They are associated to active periods and the related electric field change.

Simulation of the Cluster-Spacecraft Floating Probe Potential [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2006 In this paper, a numerical model of the Cluster-spacecraft electric potential has been developed and validated. This model provides a good fit to the plasma density as a function of spacecraft chassis potential relative to a Langmuir probe as recorded ...

Ionospheric plasma density structures associated with magnetopause motion: a case study using the Cluster spacecraft and the EISCAT Svalbard Radar [PDF]
, 2004 . On 5 January 2003, the footprint of the Cluster spacecraft, then orbiting in the dayside magnetosphere near the magnetopause, was in the close vicinity of the EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) in the dayside afternoon sector. This configuration made possible

Journal of Geophysical Research - Space Physics, 2022 The use of magnetometers for space exploration is inhibited by magnetic noise generated by spacecraft electrical systems. Mechanical booms are traditionally used to extend magnetometers away from noise sources.

First simultaneous observations of flux transfer events at the high-latitude magnetopause by the Cluster spacecraft and pulsed radar signatures in the conjugate ionosphere by the CUTLASS and EISCAT radars [PDF]
, 2001 . Cluster magnetic field data are studied during an outbound pass through the post-noon high-latitude magnetopause region on 14 February 2001. The onset of several minute perturbations in the magnetospheric field was observed in conjunction with a ...
