Polar observations in the cusp/LLBL on 21 January 1998 are used to show that the region was on closed magnetic field lines but contained several distinct solar wind ion populations in the energy range from <10 eV to >200 keV/e. A global MHD simulation of this event (using input from the Wind spacecraft upstream from the Earth s bow shock) reproduces Geotail and Interball/Tail spacecraft observations in the outer magnetosphere and magnetosheath. These results demonstrate that the simulation faithfully reproduces the global magnetic field configuration of the magnetosheath and magnetosphere and provides confidence for the interpretation of the cusp/LLBL observations from Polar. It is shown that a single evolutionary process can account for the development of a multi-energy ion population of solar wind origin on closed magnetic field lines in the magnetosphere.
