We examine two events during which Cluster and FAST were simultaneously in magnetospheric boundary layers on nearby flux tubes. During the first event (7 December 2000), Cluster made an extended crossing through the duskside low latitude boundary layer, where it detected ionospheric source ions flowing tailward at speeds near the solar wind velocity of ~400 km/s, while FAST observed energy-dispersed ion injection signatures at about 1700 magnetic local time (MLT). These observations are consistent with a reconnection site on the dusk flank of the magnetopause. The second event (21 January 2001) occurred within the cusp, with FAST's magnetic footpoint moving along the west coast of Greenland and Cluster's moving across Greenland. We focus on ion data from these two events as well as simultaneously available ground-based magnetometer and radar data from the latter event, and we relate these observations to the prevailing interplanetary conditions.
