The relatively large magnitude magnetopause field observed in several crossings associated with the ATS 5 and Explorer 45 satellites on August 4, 1972, is used to examine the structure of the magnetopause. The discussion covers magnetopause normals and their intepretation with respect to the shape of the magnetopause and to waves propagating in the magnetopause; magnetopause structure in terms of the field changes observed during magnetopause passages and of the associated magnetopause electric currents interred from the observations; and comparison of the observations with theoretical properties of open and close magnetopause models. Features necessary for comparison of magnetometer observations with pertinent theories are highlighted.
