Scientific paper

Three major cusp models are systematically compared with low-resolution (large-scale) and high-resolution (fine-scale) low-altitude observations. Those models are (a) global magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) models (including MHD+drift models), (b) turbulent/diffusive entry models, and (c) direct flowing entry models. Although low-resolution data are mostly consistent with MHD models, high-resolution data mostly contradicts them. The data instead supports the other models in which the cusp is considered as a local `extra' open region. This is a good lesson to us: past supportive `tests' of MHD cusp models might have essential flaws in the methodology, and high-resolution data is necessary even for large-scale modelings.
