TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) on the location of the open-closed field line boundary (OCB), in particular the duskside and dawnside OCB and their asymmetry, was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the low-altitude distribution of field-aligned currents with Region 1 polarity relative to the boundary between open and closed field lines was studied. And the observations showed that during a period of strongly southward solar wind magnetic field, a substantial amount of fieldaligned current was flowing on field lines that had merged with the interplanetary magnetic field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of magnetic turbu- lence combined with a dc electric field across the magnetopause in causing the cross field transport of protons and of singly charged oxygen ions was examined by means of a kinetic test parti- cle simulation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined 12 events during which CCE was located near the neutral sheet and observed the disruption of the cross-tail current during these events there were simultaneous ground magnetic field data near to the CCE local time sector DMSP F7 crossed the nightside auroral oval within 40 minutes of substorm onset at CCE during five of the events.

TL;DR: A pseudobreakup is a phenomenon similar to the substorm expansive phase onset, including an activation of an auroral arc, a burst of Pi2 micropulsations, and enhancement of the westward electrojet as mentioned in this paper.
