TLDR
The OGO-6 electric field measurements make it clear that the general pattern of high latitude electric fields in magnetic time-invariant latitude coordinates is not highly variable and that when unusual variations, or field distributions, occur they are relatively isolated in time and spatial extent as mentioned in this paper.About:

The magnetospheric boundary layer: Site of plasma, momentum and energy transfer from the magnetosheath into the magnetosphere
TL;DR: The magnetic field lines in this sunward sector of the boundary layer are closed, and the plasma flow has a component transverse to the field as mentioned in this paper, which is a site of continual transfer of plasma, momentum and energy from the magnetosheath to the magnetosphere.
