Cluster observations of a complex high-altitude cusp passage during highly variable IMF [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2004
On 26 February 2001, the Cluster spacecraft were outbound over the Northern Hemisphere, at approximately 12:00 MLT, approaching the magnetosheath through the high-altitude (and exterior) cusp region.

Cusp structures: combining multi-spacecraft observations with ground-based observations [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2003
Recent simultaneous observations of cusp structures with Polar, FAST and Interball revealed remarkably similar features at spacecraft crossing the cusp. Such stable cusp structures could be observed up to several hours only during stable solar wind
