We review and summarize the applications of the Grad-Shafranov (GS) reconstruction
technique to space plasma structures in the Earth's magnetosphere and in the interplanetary …

The azimuthal extent of three flux transfer events

RC Fear, SE Milan, AN Fazakerley… - Annales …, 2008 - angeo.copernicus.org
In early 2006, the Cluster spacecraft crossed the dayside magnetopause twice each orbit
with the spacecraft at their largest separation of the entire mission (~ 10 000 km). In this …

Magnetopause reconnection across wide local time

MW Dunlop, QH Zhang, YV Bogdanova… - Annales …, 2011 - angeo.copernicus.org
During April to July 2007 a combination of 10 spacecraft provided simultaneous monitoring
of the dayside magnetopause across a wide range of local times. The array of four Cluster …

Stationarity of the reconnection X‐line at Earth's magnetopause for southward IMF

SA Fuselier, KJ Trattner, SM Petrinec… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
When the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is southward and has a substantial Y
component, reconnection at the magnetopause occurs at low latitudes. Under these …

[HTML][HTML] Local time extent of magnetopause reconnection using space–ground coordination

Y Zou, BM Walsh, Y Nishimura… - Annales …, 2019 - angeo.copernicus.org
Magnetic reconnection can vary considerably in spatial extent. At the Earth's magnetopause,
the extent generally corresponds to the extent in local time. The extent has been probed by …
