Four-spacecraft determination of magnetopause orientation, motion and thickness: comparison with results from single-spacecraft methods [PDF]
In this paper, we use Cluster data from one magnetopause event on 5 July 2001 to compare predictions from various methods for determination of the velocity, orientation, and thickness of the magnetopause current layer. We employ established as well as

Applied aspects of cluster correction of small spacecraft
В статье рассматриваются прикладные аспекты по поддержанию требуемого пространственного положения малых космических аппаратов (МКА) в составе кластера. Исследуется структурная устойчивость кластера, состоящего из трёх МКА, обладающего баллистической структурой, которая обеспечивает решение общей целевой задачи совместного мониторинга заданных районов ...

Coordinated Cluster/Double Star observations of dayside reconnection signatures [PDF]
The recent launch of the equatorial spacecraft of the Double Star mission, TC-1, has provided an unprecedented opportunity to monitor the southern hemisphere dayside magnetopause boundary layer in conjunction with northern hemisphere observations by ...

Intermittent energy dissipation by turbulent reconnection [PDF]
Magnetic reconnection—the process responsible for many explosive phenomena in both nature and laboratory—is efficient at dissipating magnetic energy into particle energy.

Modulation of NTC frequencies by Pc5 ULF pulsations : experimental test of the generation mechanism and magnetoseismology of the emitting surface [PDF]
Nonthermal continuum (NTC) radiation is believed to be emitted by the conversion of an electrostatic wave into an electromagnetic one, which takes place at the Earth's magnetic equator.

A joint Cluster and ground-based instruments study of two magnetospheric substorm events on 1 September 2002 [PDF]
We present a coordinated ground- and space-based multi-instrument study of two magnetospheric substorm events that occurred on 1 September 2002, during the interval from 18:00 UT to 24:00 UT.

Cusp observations during a sequence of fast IMF BZ reversals [PDF]
In recent years, a large number of papers have reported the response of the cusp to solar wind variations under conditions of northward or southward Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) Z-component (BZ).

Cluster observations of the midaltitude cusp under strong northward interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]
We report on a multispacecraft cusp observation lasting more than 100 min. We determine the cusp boundary motion and reveal the effect on the cusp size of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) changing from southward to northward.
