Scientific paper

The authors have made statistical studies of a large data set of magnetopause crossings, that were measured aboard many spacecraft. These data were matched with simultaneous solar wind parameters. The authors have quantified the magnetopause response to variations of solar wind dynamic pressures and interplanetary magnetic field intensities and orientation. The authors conclude that location of the subsolar point is a function of solar wind pressure alone when the z component interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz > -2 nT but it is a complex function of solar wind dynamic pressure and IMF Bz when Bz < -2 nT.
