Zusammenfassung |
We present the study of
one of the first magnetopause crossings observed by the four Cluster spacecraft
simultaneously, on 10 December 2000. Although the delays between the crossings
are very short, the features of the boundary appear quite different as seen by
the different spacecraft, strongly suggesting the presence of a local curvature
of the magnetopause at that time. The small-scale fluctuations observed by the
STAFF search-coil experiment are placed in relation to this context. A
preliminary investigation of their behaviour on the boundary and in the
neighbourhood magnetosheath is performed in comparison with the theoretical
model of Belmont and Rezeau (2001), which describes the interaction of waves
with the boundary.
