Scientific paper

An unexpected orientation of field lines has been found by ISEE satellite measurements of the earth magnetosphere boundary layer, perhaps indicating a reverse draping. Three-dimensional plasma flow measurements by ISEE 1 and 2 show the tailward flow in the boundary layer to have an equatorward component which suggests high-latitude plasma entry. Simultaneous magnetic field measurements with the two satellites during a boundary crossing sequence yielded data on the boundary layer electric currents and the boundary layer interface with plasma sheet and magnetosheath. The currents are found to be largely field-aligned, with intensities in the 0.03-0.06 microampere/sq m range.
