20 Years of Cluster Observations: The Magnetopause [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2021 AbstractThe terrestrial magnetopause forms the boundary between the solar wind plasma with its embedded interplanetary magnetic field on one side, and the terrestrial magnetosphere, dominated by Earth's dipole field, on the other side. It is therefore a key region for the transfer of mass, momentum, and energy from the solar wind to the magnetosphere ...

A generalization of the minimum variance analysis method [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 In order to determine the normal direction of the magnetopause, the minimum variance analysis technique is frequently used: it is applied to the magnetic field data of a magnetopause crossing observed by a satellite, and provides the direction along ...

Modeling magnetopause location for 4D drift-resolved radiation belt codes: Salammbô model implementation [PDF]
Annales GeophysicaeWe present a new semi-analytical magnetopause location model specifically designed for 4D drift-resolved radiation belt modeling codes. We specifically designed this magnetopause location model for the 4D version of Salammbô, but it can be adaptable to ...

The magnetopause shape and location: a comparison of the Interball and Geotail observations with models [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2002 A number of magnetopause models have been developed in the course of last three decades. We have chosen seven of them and tested them using a fresh set of magnetopause crossings observed by Interball-1, Magion-4, and Geotail satellites.

Evolution of Kelvin-Helmholtz activity on the dusk flank magnetopause [PDF]
, 2008 Our purpose is to characterize the evolution of the magnetopause Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) wave activity with changes in thickness of the adjacent boundary layer, geomagnetic latitude and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation.

Coordinated polar spacecraft, geosynchronous spacecraft, and ground-based observations of magnetopause processes and their coupling to the ionosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2004 In this paper, we present in-situ observations of processes occurring at the magnetopause and vicinity, including surface waves, oscillatory magnetospheric field lines, and flux transfer events, and coordinated observations at geosynchronous orbit by ...

Spatial dependence of magnetopause energy transfer: Cluster measurements verifying global simulations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2011 We investigate the spatial variation of magnetopause energy conversion and transfer using Cluster spacecraft observations of two magnetopause crossing events as well as using a global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation GUMICS-4.
