Scientific paper
The present study is concerned with an evaluation of some of the plasma and field processes by which the magnetospheric boundary layer acts as a magnetohydrodynamic (HD) dynamo. An analysis is conducted of 18 crossings of the dayside magnetopause and boundary layer, taking into account data provided by the quadrispherical electrostatic analyzers (Lepedea) of the International Sun-Earth Explorer (ISEE) spacecraft. These instruments sample ion and electron velocity distributions in three dimensions. Attenion is given to aspects of data presentation, magnetopause identification, details regarding the magnetopause crossings, cross-field plasma flow, comparisons of magnetosheath and boundary layer plasma flow, and six conclusions.
