This paper proposes a mechanism for the enhancement of the core magnetic field in the center of the magnetopause FTEs in the framework of the single-X-line bursty reconnection model of Scholer (1988) and Southwood et al. (1988). In this model, bursty reconnection at a single X line, which extends over a large longitudinal segment of the dayside magnetopause, leads to looplike magnetic fields. The proposed mechanism for the core field enhancement suggests that, as the loops move due to the Maxwell stress along the magnetopause, the magnetopause magnetic field component directed perpendicular to the loops is swept up in the interior of the loop, leading to continuously increasing magnetic field in the center of the loops. An electromagnetic force equilibrium is reached when the downward pulling force due to the stress of the swept up magnetopause field equals the upward pulling force due to the loops.
