А. (1958), in Lehnert, В. (ed.) Electromagnetic Phenomena и Cosmic Physics, 123, Cambridge Univ. Press, New York] [Parker, E. N., (1963), Phys. Rev., 107, 924 ] Z For IMFBz<0 MPmovesinward: Rs=11.3+0.25ВzRs–subsolar MP distances in Earth radii,‘В’,innT X Y

  3. A question since 1978: Does TBL exist? There are 2 characteristic examples from Interball-1 Interball-1, May 26, 1996, 01-04 UT Bx Byz |B| Bx -spectra, 0.1 –10 Hz SW BS MSH TBL MP

  4. cusp Generation of turbulent boundary layer in the process of interaction of hydrodynamic flow with obstacle (from [Haerendel, 1978]). “1” – marks open cusp throat, “2” – stands for high latitude boundary layer downstream the cusp. Reynolds number (for the cusp scale of 2-3 RE) Reri ~ 100-500

  6. Interball-1 OT summary • In summer outer cusp throat (OT) is open for the MSH flow.TBL (turbulent boundary layer) is mostly in MSH. • In winterOT is closed by smooth MP at larger distance. Inside MP ‘plasma balls’ (~few Re) contain reduced field, heated plasma & weaker TBL. • OT encounters on 98.06.19 at 10-11 UT by Interball-1 and Polar are shown

Forb ~ 1-10 near MPthe viscous gyro-stressis of the order of that of Maxwell.Velocityu, rises downstream of the subsolar point, magnetic field B0 - has the minimun over cusp, i.e.the gyroviscousinteractionis most significantat the outer border of the cusp, that results in the magnetic flux diffusion (being equivalent to the microreconnection)

  9. Cluster OT crossing on 2002.02.13 theta L ~ RE En • Quicklook for OT encounter (09:00-09:30 UT) Energetic electrons & ions are seen generally in OT, not in magtosphere, they look to be continuous relative to the lower energy particles. Note also the maximum in energetic electrons at the OT outer border at ~09:35 UT. The upstream energetic particles are seen to 10:30 UT. magnetosphere OT MSH dipole tilt~14 d phi energetic ions |B| ions energetic electrons Surface charge decelerates plasma flow along normal and accelerates it along magnetopause tailward electrons cusp MSH MP

  10. Plasma jet interaction with MP niMiVi2/2 < k (Bmax)2 /m0 [k ~ (0.5-1) – geometric factor] niMiVi2/2 > k (Bmax)2/m0 The plasma jets, accelerated sunward, often are regarded asproof for a macroreconnection; while every jet, accelerated in MSH should be reflected bya magnetic barrier forniMiVi2< (Bmax)2/m0in the absence of effective dissipation(that is well known in laboratory plasma physics)

  11. Resonance interaction of ions withelectrostaticcyclotron waves Diffusion across the magnetic field can be due to resonance interaction of ions withelectrostaticcyclotron waves et al., Part of the time, when ions are in resonance with the wave - perpendicular ion energy s that can provide the particle flow across the southern and northern TBL, which is large enough i.e. for populating of the dayside magnetosphere

  12. Measurements of ion-cyclotron waves onPrognoz-8, 10, Interball-1in the turbulent boundary layer (TBL) over polar cusps. Maximums are at the proton-cyclotron frequency. Shown also are the data fromHEOS-2 (E=1/c[VxB]),and from the low-latitude MPAMPTE/IRMandISEE-1. Estimation of the diffusion coefficient due toelectrostatic ion-cyclotron wavesdemonstrates thatthe dayside magnetosphere can be populated by the solar plasmathrough the turbulent boundary layer

  13. Plasma percolation via the structured magnetospheric boundary Percolationis able to provide the plasma inflow comparable with that due to electrostatic ion cyclotron waves [Galeev et al., 1985, Kuznetsova & Zelenyi, 1990]:Dp~0.66(dB/B0)ri2 Wi~const/B02~(5-10)109m2/s ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One can get a similar estimate for thekinetic Alfven waves (KAWin[Hultquist et al., ISSI, 1999, p. 399]): DKAW~k^2ri2Te/Ti VA/k||(dB/B0)2~~const/B03 ~1010m2/s

  16. Cluster 1, February 13, 2001 Thin current (TCS) sheet at MP (~ 90 km) is transparent for ions with larger gyroradius, which transfer both parallel and perpendicular momentum and acquire the cross-current potential. The TCS is driven by the Hall current, generated by a part of the surface charge currentat theTCS dF ~300 V

  17. Mechanisms for acceleration of plasma jets • Besidesmacroreconnectionof anti-parallel magnetic fields (where the magnetic stress can accelerate the plasma till niMiViA2 ~B2/8p),there are experimental evidences for: • Fermi-type acceleration by moving (relative the incident flow) boundary of outer boundary layer; • - acceleration at similar boundariesby inertial (polarization) drift.

  18. Magneto sonic jet • Acceleration in the perpendicular non-uniform electric field by the inertial drift • Fermi-type acceleration by a moving boundary;
