The high-altitude cusp and dayside magnetopause boundary layer are the major regions where solar wind-magnetosphere coupling processes occur. The occurrence and efficiency of the coupling processes may in fact depend on the structures and dynamics (or conditions) of the outer magnetospheric boundary. For example, observations by the Hawkeye spacecraft (1974-1978) have shown that variable solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field can affect the global-scale structure of the outer magnetospheric boundary. The overall configuration of these regions may in turn determine how well the coupling processes, such as the transfer of mass, momentum and energy, might be mediated. Recent in situ and remote-sensing observations by the Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) on IMAGE (launched March 25, 2000) have yielded new information on the dayside magnetospheric boundary structure and dynamics. This paper will review pertinent results from Hawkeye and IMAGE/RPI observations of the structure and dynamics of the outer magnetospheric boundary layer.
