Scientific paper

A model of the magnetopause current layer was developed on the basis of classic-fluid theory equations for collision-free plasmas with finite ion Larmor radius. The model provides self-consistent solutions for the plasma flow vector, magnetic field, and electric currents inside the magnetopause layer. It is shown that this model can explain, for the first time, such observations as the erosion of the dayside magnetosphere and the observed departures from MHD jump conditions across the magnetopause. In addition, the model was used to derive an expression for the characteristic thickness of the magnetopause layer.
