Observations of dense detached magnetosheathlike plasma clouds (MPCs) near the high-latitude nightside magnetopause, obtained with the plasma and wave instruments of the Prognoz-8 satellite during August-September 1981, are reported. The data are presented graphically and analyzed in detail. All of the MPCs observed are shown to be accompanied by strong wave activity at frequencies between the proton-cyclotron and lower-hybrid frequencies, and a number of similarities between the MPCs and dayside flux-transfer events are noted. The characteristics of the MPCs are found to be generally consistent with a theoretical model based on the lower-hybrid drift instability.
