Scientific paper

An inbound crossing of the magnetopause on November 8, 1977, was analyzed using the greater spatial resolution obtained by the ISEE 2 instrument at high bit rate. A technique is described, which was used to obtain trapping boundary parameters for five energy channels in the energy range from 24-70 keV, and the location of the trapping boundary with respect to the boundary layer plasma is identified in addition to the waves on the trapping boundary consistent with the soundings in all energy channels. It is found that the trapping boundary for energetic ions is sharp and well defined for about 35 keV ions, corresponding most of the time to the earthward edge of the plasma boundary layer. Magnetosheath-like plasma is sometimes observed up to 800 km inside the trapping boundary, and it is argued that the wave nature of the trapping boundary is the cause of the slight difference between the higher and lower energy ion trapping boundary locations.
