Scientific paper

It is known that the electric field pattern at high-latitudes depends on the polarity of IMF BY. The potential cell at the duskside (dawnside) is larger than that at the other side for IMF BY>0 (BY<0) in the northern hemisphere. This asymmetry of the potential cell appears oppositely in the southern hemisphere. In this study we investigate the above problem by using the perigee data from Cluster passing through the magnetic equator. The data consist of both components of the electric field perpendicular to the magnetic field obtained by the electron drift instrument (EDI). These data are sorted by IMF BY and discussed in terms of the seasonal variation of the orbits and the possible locations of the reconnection at the dayside magnetopause.
