Scientific paper

Dusk-to-dawn electric fields just inside the magnetospause have been suggested to be the products of either a viscous interaction or other processes occurring in a closed magnetosphere. Attention is accordingly given to electric field measurements conducted during 28 crossings of the magnetopause by the ISEE 1 satellite, within 2 hours of local dusk, in 1980. Although dusk-to-dawn fields containing potentials of a few kV were often observed, it is concluded that less than 10 percent of the typical magnetospheric potential resulted from viscous interaction or similar processes.
