Scientific paper

Magnetic reconnection leads to energy conversion in large volumes in space but is initiated in small regions. We report on detailed observations at the magnetopause of reconnection separatrix regions at electron and ion scales. Important features include currents, strong electric fields, potential drops and associated particle acceleration. The features at small scales lead to effects at larger (fluid) scales, including energy conversion from magnetic to particle energy. Preliminary results from the four Cluster spacecraft at different simultaneous separations (about 40 km and 8000 km, i. e. the electron/ion and fluid scales, respectively) will be presented.
