Scientific paper

We present several cases of crossings of the magnetopause and boundary layers on the dayside, at high latitude. We mostly concentrate on periods of Northward IMF. The experiment Peace onboard Cluster observes very different structures of electron distribution for magnetopause crossings during similar interplanetary conditions. Notable differences are observed in the size, the particle fluxes and energies. We propose to use the information onboard the 4 spacecraft to give a detailed description of the similarities and differences in the crossings. We also estimate the size and the motions of the boundaries, and their possible variations. Finally, we discuss the results.
