Scientific paper

Some general expression for the convection and parallel electric fields as well as for the energy transfer, due to magnetopause reconnection, are derived using a nose reconnection model that takes into account the presence of the clefts. For the case of equal geomagnetic and magnetosheath field amplitudes, the expression for the power dissipated by the convection electric field reduces to the substorm parameter epsilon. This suggests that magnetopause reconnection is defined at the nose with a tilted reconnection line, but that the convection electric field is related only to the dawn dusk component of the reconnection electric field, as defined at high latitudes (clefts).
