Scientific paper

The reported investigation shows that the earth's dipole, magnetopause, and magnetotail field contributions provide a basis for an understanding of Mercury's magnetosphere, particularly when a relatively minor quadruple term is added. The investigation confirms an assertion by Ness et al. (1975) that Mercury possesses a substantially dipolar magnetosphere. Details concerning the considered model and the calculations are presented in an appendix.
