The Magnetospheric cusps are a key feature of the Earth's magnetosphere, as they offer the solar wind its most direct entry point. The cusps regions contain diamagnetic cavities identified by significantly depressed magnetic field accompanied by enhanced density and pressure. Many questions remain with regard to these cavities. In order to investigate these regions, we have implemented a high resolution local three dimensional MHD simulation with an initial configuration representing a cusp-like magnetic configuration. We present results from a study of parameter variations in the vicinity of these cavities. Specifically, we address the dependence of local plasma dynamics on various magnetosheath parameters (e.g., flow speed, density, pressure) for varying IMF conditions.
