The high-latitude boundary layer of the magnetosphere is studied on the basis of Prognoz-7 measurements. It is found that, in the presence of the northern component of the interplanetary magnetic field, the layer structure can differ significantly from that characteristic of a classical plasma mantle. In the outer part of the boundary layer at the side of the magnetosphere, the plasma has a velocity component that is significantly transverse with respect to the magnetic field. The inner part is characterized by a pattern of plasma flow along the field lines that is typical for a plasma mantle. The double structure can be explained by variations of magnetospheric convection, especially by the appearance of additional convective vortices with a sunward direction of convection in the central part of the polar cap.
