Scientific paper

The magnetopause crossings of November 10, 1977, which are considered to be representative of a class of structures, are investigated, and a procedure is developed to derive approximate surface currents near the magnetopause from ISEE 1 magnetic field data by assuming a constant speed of the magnetopause along its normal for each crossing of the magnetopause layer. Changes in the magnetic field indicate that current sheets exist on each side of the magnetopause layer, which is characterized by an irregular magnetic field and a magnetosheath-like energy distribution. No boundary layer plasma is observed on the magnetospheric field lines inside the magnetopause, and electromagnetic energy is found to be dissipated at the two edges of the magnetopause layer where the current layers are observed.
