Scientific paper

Sub-solar magnetopause measurements of asymmetric magnetic field reconnection on the Polar and THEMIS satellites are compared with a PIC simulation having open boundary conditions and a guide field to show the excellent agreement between the two data sets on both ion and electron spatial scales. Examples involving parallel electric fields, violations of the frozen-in condition, and regions where electron scale physics are important will be discussed.
