The solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) dependence of low-altitude cusp properties is investigated using data from the Akebono satellite. More than a hundred cusp events are identified with the low energy particle detector (LEP) on board Akebono and are compared to solar wind and IMF data obtained by IMP 8. We have tentatively defined a starting location of the cusp ion precipitation as the location where observed cusp ions had the highest energy in the energy dispersion curve recorded along the satellite path. It is found that the thus defined starting latitude of cusp precipitation correlates almost linearly with IMF Bz regardless of its sign. In addition, we studied the solar wind velocity (Vsw) dependence of the starting latitude.
