Scientific paper

The distinction between the cusp and the cleft was investigated on the basis of statistical and case study evidence, using one year of the DMSP F7 electron and ion data comprising 5609 individual dayside passes. It was found that a clear morphological distinction between the cusp proper and the cleft/low-latitude boundary layer (LLBL) could be made on the basis of the average energy of precipitating particles. The probability of observing the cusp was found to be highest at 1200 MLT, while the probability of observing the cleft/LLBL was near unity away from noon and was minimal at noon.
