A combination is made of observations from the Millstone Hill radar (MHR) and the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program's F7 spacecraft of the dayside features on the ionospheric cleft/cusp during the magnetic storm of February 8-9, 1986; the MHR was in the dayside. Attention is given to the two sets of observations for the prenoon sector in order to ascertain the low-altitude signatures of plasma regions in the vicinity of the cusp. Boundary plasma sheet particles coincided with a narrow region of magnetic field-aligned currents, as well as with antisunward convection flows at the equatorward edge of the cleft. Particle and field signatures are identified for the plasma sheet, plasma sheet boundary layer, low latitude boundary layer, cusp, and mantle, at unusually low magnetic latitude during the event.
