Scientific paper

We survey the occurrence of reconnection at the magnetopause and in the cusp using measurements from the CIS and FGM experiments. We present evidence for reconnection occurring both equatorward and poleward of the cusp for different IMF orientations. The multi-spacecraft measurements reveal that under steady IMF conditions, reconnection is large scale and occurs continuously over an extended period of time, but the reconnection rate may be modulated.
