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.

Four-spacecraft determination of magnetopause orientation, motion and thickness: comparison with results from single-spacecraft methods [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2004 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

Magnetic Field Gradient Across the Flank Magnetopause
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Magnetic pressure inside the magnetopause is usually balanced with a sum of thermal plasma and magnetic pressures on the magnetosheath side. However, observations reveal that the magnetosheath magnetic field can be frequently larger than that in the ...

Ion escape from the high latitude magnetopause: analysis of oxygen and proton dynamics in the presence of magnetic turbulence [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2007 Recent Cluster observations of the vicinity of the high latitude magnetopause indicate the presence of beams of singly charged oxygen ions, which are of ionospheric origin.

Excess of Sodium Ions Density Required to Create a Wide Current at the Hermean Magnetopause
Universe, 2021 In this paper we consider an unusual structure, twice observed at the magnetopause of Mercury, and called the “Double Magnetopause”. Presumably, it is associated with a current sheet created by Na+ ions. Two alternative scenarios are considered.

Rotational/compressional nature of the magnetopause: Application of the BV technique on a magnetopause case study [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2014 The magnetopause boundary implies two main kinds of variations: a density/temperature gradient and a magnetic field rotation. Other variations are associated with these two, concerning in particular the flow velocity, the electric field, and the plasma composition.

Statistical analysis of magnetopause crossings at lunar distances [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2019 Different magnetopause models with a diverse level of complexity are in use. One thing that they have in common is that they are mainly based on near-earth observations; i.e.

Concerning the location of magnetopause merging as a function of the magnetopause current strength [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1998 We start from an assumption that merging occurs in regions of the magnetopause where current strengths are greater than some threshold value which corresponds to the total jump in the field across the magnetopause greater than 50 nT. Because time and cost constraints preclude running numerical simulations for a wide variety of interplanetary magnetic ...
