6. [ISSI book: CLUSTER AT THE MAGNETOSPHERIC CUSPS] IMFBz>0 A summary plot of the Cluster data during the cusp interval 05:00 - 10:00 UT on March 17, 2001. The panels show, from top to bottom, the HIA ion omni-directional energy fluxes, the HIA ion density, velocity and temperature, the FGM magnetic field, all from spacecraft 1, and the lagged IMF from the ACE spacecraft.

Comparison of |B| on 4 SC (colors for SC 1-4: black, blue, violet, red) on March 17, 2001 associated with the MP jets (see Fig. 1); • Ram pressure Wk from 3 SC and that of SC1 at 11.995-12.075 UT (‘source jet’, dashed line, lagged); • Cluster 1: Wk (black), Wt – thermal ion pressure (blue), Wb – magnetic pressure (violet) and Wk in SW from Wind (magenta); • Ey from 4 Clusters.

10. Plasma jet interaction with MP niMiVi2/2 < k (Bmax)2 /m0 [k ~ (0.5-1) – geometric factor] niMiVi2/2 > k (Bmax)2/m0 The plasma jets, accelerated sunward, often are regarded asproof for a macroreconnection; while every jet, accelerated in MSH should be reflected bya magnetic barrier forniMiVi2< (Bmax)2/m0in the absence of effective dissipation(that is well known in laboratory plasma physics)

12. While the low-latitude reconnection for the IMF Bz<0 can account for the jet ram pressure, itcan’t do so for the jet directionas all background energy densities on the jets’ paths are negligible versus the jet ram pressure and magnetic field gradient force is opposite to that required for the jet rotation IMF Bz<0

In the jets kinetic energyWkin rises from ~ 5.5 to 16.5 keV/cm3For a reconnection acceleration till Alfvenic speed VA it is foreseen WkA ~ ni VA2/2 ~ const |B|2that requires magnetic field of 66 nT(120 nT inside MP if averaged with MSH) [Merka, Safrankova, Nemecek, Fedorov, Borodkova, Savin, Adv.

19. The Alfvenic collapse would stop at the scales of ~ ion gyroradius (i.e. at the MHD validity breaking), when magnetic field diffusion due to the finite ion gyroradius effects can neutralize the field growth • For collapse at ion gyroradius scale we estimate equilibrium from We estimate DH from characteristic shift by squared ion gyroradius ri2 at ion gyroperiod for the gradient scale ~ ion gyroradius

20. Interball-1 MSH/stagnation region border encounter on April 21, 1996. • Comparison with switch-off slow shock [Karimabadi et al., 1995] displays strong magnetic barrier with pressure of the order of the MSH ram pressure. Inside ‘diamagnetic bubble’ ion temperature balances the external pressure

30. В ы в о д ы • «Плазменные струи», редко объясняемые пересоединением магнитных силовых линий, регулярно наблюдаются в магнитослое между ударной волной и магнитопаузой, их длительность ~ десятков секунд, рост их динамического давления на фоне невозмущенного солнечного ветра • - до 2-3 раз. • Примерно 20% струйпронизывают высокоширотную магнитопаузу, вызывая вторичное пересоединение и пролетая в межпланетное пространство через плазменную мантию или низкоширотный погранслой. • Некоторые их них отражаются геомагнитным полем независимо от межпланетного магнитного поля. • Одной из функций струйв магнитослое является «сброс» вниз по потоку до 40% импульса как в стационарном случае, так и при динамическом росте или падении внешнего динамического давления. При этом локальный баланс энергии поддерживается квази-покоящимися электромагнитными структурами в магнитослое. • Одним из источников ускорения струй является Альвеновский коллапс, в котором взрывообразный рост магнитного поля опрокидывающихся силовых линий вытесняет плазму вдоль силовых линий
