During the coast phase the five spacecraft of the THEMIS mission regularly traverse the dusk-noon magnetopause boundary region. Like pearls on a string they are aligned with separations between a few hundred and a few thousand kilometres. This enables us the study in detail the local response of the magnetosphere to solar wind induced changes as observations from both sides of the magnetopause boundary region are available. This allows to infer the response function between dynamical processes in the magnetosheath, the boundary layer, and the outer magnetosphere as well as the ground. Several case studies will be presented demonstrating the large variety of local dynamic responses.
