Scientific paper

The Gonzalez (1973) expression for magnetopause reconnection power based on the entire reconnection electric field vector is contrasted with an expression based on the dawn-dusk component of the reconnection electric field. This expression reduces to the substorm parameter epsilon for the limit involving equal geomagnetic and magnetosheath magnetic field amplitudes at the magnetopause. The present correlation examples indicate that the more general expression for reconnection power correlates with the empirical dissipation parameter with better coefficients than those obtained from similar correlations between epsilon and the magnetospheric dissipation parameter. The relatively small difference that seems to exist between these correlation coefficients suggests that epsilon could also be used in similar correlation studies, due to its simpler format.
