The authors report on a study of satellite crossings of the dayside magnetopause. They report on plasma parameters, and magnetic field behavior in the crossing regions, and in the magnetosheath bordering the magnetopause. Solar wind transfer into the magnetosphere should be mirrored in the plasma parameters in these regions. They find a strong relationship between plasma parameters and the magnetic field behavior, and the magnetic shear across the magnetopause. They relate this to plasma [beta], electron and ion temperature, plasma flow, and instability.
