Scientific paper

We examine POLAR data for several cusp crossings, observing two different types of cusp-like regions. We apply the label "quiet cusp" to the traditional cusp of high-density, stagnant solar wind plasma. "Cusp Diamagnetic Cavities", described previously, are similar but show a strongly depressed and turbulent field and are colocated with "Cusp Energetic Particle" observations. Within the CDC's, field depressions are strongly correlated to enhancements in the local plasma density.
