The statistical study of boundary layers adjacent to low-latitude (LLBL) and high-latitude (HLBL) magnetopause when interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is nearly horizontal shows that all observed plasma regimes are well described in terms of antiparallel dayside merging. Moreover this analysis speaks in favor of sporadic patchy type of reconnection. Detailed investigation of each boundary layer crossing under the stable horizontal IMF allows to define the properties of the reconnection region. The comparison of observed plasma regimes with simple model of patchy sporadic reconnection gives us the opportunity to estimate the spatial size of the zone of instant reconnection, its time of life and "spatial density" of sporadic reconnection points. The present study is made on the base of Interball-Tail data.
