The data from the Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers/Ion Release Module (AMPTE/IRM) satellite on 21 large-magnetic-shear passes through the dayside low-latitude magnetospheric boundary region were examined. The purpose of the study was to reexamine the occurrence of high-speed flows as signatures of the reconnection process at the magnetopause, taking advantage of high (about 4.4 s) time resolution of the IRM plasma measurements. Twelve of the passes showed magnetopause crossings with high-speed flows, lasting from 10 to 30 s, the occurrence of which was inversely correlated with beta. The data were interpreted to indicate that reconnection may occur preferentially for low beta values.
