Scientific paper

The solar wind - magnetosheath - magnetosphere interaction is driven by changing solar wind conditions upstream of the Earth. Spacecraft located at the L1 Lagrange point have been used in conjunction with Earth orbiting spacecraft for a number of years to study the evolution of solar wind structure between L1 and the Earth. During the first year of operations, the 4-spacecraft Cluster mission has made a large number of observations of the solar wind and magnetosheath. We present new Cluster observations of structures in the solar wind and magnetosheath, and correlate them to observations made by ACE at the L1 point. In particular, the multi-spacecraft analysis of field reversals in the solar wind is presented and the interaction of a flux rope structure with the magnetosphere is analysed, by comparing observations made by Cluster in the magnetosheath to observations made by ACE in the solar wind.
