Reconnection on the dayside magnetopause is widely accepted to be a major access of mass and energy change. Still, the divarication of anti-parallel and component reconnection remains unsettled and attracts great interest. In this study, we surveyed the fast flow events observed by Cluster and DSP/TC1 between January and April, 2004 and 2005, trying to figure out the global configuration of dayside magnetopause reconnection. It is obtained from the study that the X-line obliquity strongly depends on the IMF clock angle. The relationship can be approximately represented as follows: [θ=-0.34(AIMF-180)] with θ represents the X-line obliquity and AIMF the IMF clock angle, all in degrees. Noteworthily, we didn't include the effect of X componsent or magnetitude of the IMF. The differences of magnetosphere magnetic field at different locations was not considered either.
