Experimental study of nonlinear interaction of plasma flow with charged thin current sheets: 1. Boundary structure and motion

We study plasma transport at a thin magnetopause (MP), described hereafter as a thin current sheet (TCS), observed by Cluster at the southern cusp on 13 February 2001 around 20:01 UT. The Cluster observations generally agree with the predictions of the Gas Dynamic Convection Field (GDCF) model in th...
