Magnetic clouds (MCs) belong to an important subset of interplanetary coronal mass ejections. The study of MC boundary is correlated with many other problems and interests many investigators at all times. This paper discusses a method that the interplanetary magnetic field data are converted into a cloud natural coordinate system in which the profile of the MC as a flux tube is displayed clearly, combining the plasma properties, the boundaries of the cloud can be identified easier. The establishment of cloud coordinate system is based on that MCs are flux ropes with approximately constant ?force-free field configurations. Six observed magnetic clouds are analyzed using the method, and the results show that the method is feasible and can reduce the ambiguities of Identification of Magnetic Cloud Boundaries.
