The methodology employed in the paper 'Solar wind control of the magnetopause shape, location, and motion' by Sibeck et al. (1991), which quantifies the magnetospheric response to solar wind dynamic pressure and interplanetary magnetic field variations, is commented on, with emphasis on how the shape and position of the magnetopause boundary can be specified, within some uncertainty, for particular simultaneous values of the solar wind pressure in the magnetic field. The reply of Sibeck et al. included a data set of 1821 magnetopause crossings, each associated with an hourly averaged solar wind dynamic pressure and/or north-south component of the interplanetary magnetic field. A least squares fit to an ellipsoid of revolution to subsets of the data was performed.
