Scientific paper

Recent observations by Cluster spacecraft have shown the existence of very narrow boundaries within the magnetopause having large electric fields associated to them. These narrow layers can be associated with large Poynting flux and several hundred volt potential drops. We study in detail the structure of these narrow regions using interferometry measurements between different probes (~100m) on the same spacecraft as well as between different spacecrafts (~100km). Thus we can estimate the phase speed of the narrow structures with respect to the magnetopause as well as their temporal and spatial character. We study several events with different large scale properties of the magnetopause to see the possible relation between the narrow structures and the large scale phenomena at the magnetopause (e.g., reconnection).
