In this article the authors discuss a unique obsevation made in the cusp region by the IMP 8 satellite of ion signatures during a step change in the interplanetary magnetic field from southward to northward, and back southward. The solar wind was relatively steady in density and velocity during this stepwise change. The ion population is observed to have two independent populations, well separated in energy, along the same field lines.
