TL;DR: The average and unusual locations of magnetopause and bow shock positions observed by IMP spacecraft were analyzed in this paper, showing that the bow shock position is unusual for the Earth's magnetic field.

TL;DR: The Cluster mission as mentioned in this paper provides a new opportunity to study plasma processes and structures in the near-Earth plasma environment using four-point measurements of the magnetic field, which can enable the analysis of the three dimensional structure and dynamics of a range of phenomena which shape the macroscopic properties of the magnetosphere.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was concluded that the waves are associated with the earth's bow shock since they only occur when projection of the interplanetary field observed at the spacecraft intersects the shock.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the external magnetospheric field by making least-squares fits to magnetic field measurements from four IMP satellites, which were fit to a power series expansion in the solar magnetic coordinates and the solar wind-dipole tilt angle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Lepping-Burlaga constant-a flux rope model (i.e., J = aB) to identify 73 flux rope events in the Geotail magnetic field measurements between November 1998 and April 1999.
