Scientific paper

Extensions of Petschek's (1964) analysis are reviewed and used to investigate the steady-state and time-dependent reconnection in a current sheet geometry of the type observed at the magnetopause. It is shown that steady-state reconnection appears as a very special case in a time-dependent analysis. A single theoretical framework is proposed for interpreting reconnection phenomena at the magnetopause and for investigating the characteristics of dayside reconnection.
