| Zusammenfassung |
| We present a space- and ground-based study exploiting data from the
coordinated Cluster and Double Star missions in order to investigate dayside
magnetic reconnection under BY+ dominated IMF conditions. In-situ
observations of magnetosheath flux transfer events combined with measurements
of pulsed poleward and dawnward directed flows in the pre-noon sector
high-latitude northern hemisphere ionosphere are interpreted as indications
of pulsed magnetic reconnection during an interval in which the IMF remained
relatively steady. Observations of newly-reconnected magnetic flux tubes
anchored in the northern hemisphere both at mid-latitudes and in the vicinity
of the subsolar point suggests that during BY+ dominated IMF, reconnection
is not, as proposed previously, limited to the high-latitude magnetopause. |
