Cluster observations of the midaltitude cusp under strong northward interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
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.
