Magnetopause crossings by the ISEE spacecraft have been mapped to the subsolar region along conic sections derived from average fits to northward and southward IMF crossing sets. These mapped positions have been normalized by the solar wind pressure, which is derived from observations by ISEE-3 and IMP-8. Some of the scatter in the extrapolated positions is due to the assumption that a simple conic section can be used to describe the shape of the dayside magnetopause. The existence of the cusps causes deviations from this simple shape in the meridian plane. Crossings of the dayside magnetopause by the ISEE spacecraft when the interplanetary magnetic field is northward are used to examine the influence of the angle of tilt of the Earth's dipole on the magnetopause shape, and are compared with a numerical magnetopause model.
