Scientific paper

The Cluster orbit was specifically designed to cross the high latitude cusp and magnetopause regions and like Polar, Cluster has demonstrated the existence of energetic particles in the high latitude dayside magnetosphere region, which have been associated with the trapping effect of a local field minimum or magnetic bottle. Since launch, under the action of orbital dynamics, Cluster's northern hemisphere outbound passages have crossed the magnetopause at subsequently lower and lower latitude. These crossings have revealed significant structure in the particle population on closed field lines, including apparent energy dependant pitch angle distributions more usually associated with the magnetotail. This fledgling study examines the data from RAPID, PEACE and CIS, combining the entire energy range of the instruments to investigate the nature of the transport processes at work in the dayside plasma sheet, how it reacts to driving conditions and, maybe, where it is going.
