Flux transfer events (FTEs), observed on both the interior and exterior of the dayside magnetopause region by the ISEE 1 and 2 spacecraft, are noted to be a feature of the magnetopause region covered by the spacecraft when the magnetic field in the magnetosheath has a southward component, but not when it is northward. During periods of southward magnetosheath field, the average number and recurrence time of FTE signatures/magnetopause crossing are similar to those observed in the magnetopause interior, implying that the magnetosheath and magnetosphere FTEs are aspects of the same physical phenomenon. It is speculated that FTEs may provide the dominant means of flux transfer required for the driving of geomagnetic disturbances.
