Scientific paper

Results are presented of a detailed analysis of plasma and field measurements taken close in time by the DE 1 and DE 2 satellites during the September 6, 1982 magnetic storm. High-altitude data show that, during the storm, the DE 1 satellite entered the magnetosheath by crossing a magnetopause with a large normal magnetic field component, and data from DE 2 show a well-defined cusp current system occurring on open magnetic field lines. The interactions of the solar wind/IMF with the magnetosphere low-altitude signatures of the magnetopause that most adequately explain the high-altitude observations of DE 1 and the near-earth cusp observations of DE 2 are considered, and the relationship between the measurements made by the two satellites are discussed.
