Polar spacecraft observations of the turbulent outer cusp/magnetopause boundary layer of Earth

The orbit of the Polar spacecraft has been ideally suited for studying the turbulent region of the cusp that is located near or just outside the magnetopause current sheet at 7-9 R<sub>E</sub>. The wave data obtained in this region show that electromagnetic turbulence is dominant in the...
