E.: Multi-instrument study of the dynamic cusp during dominant IMF By conditions, Ann
Abstract. We present multi-instrument observations using the meridian scanning photometer (MSP) at Ny ˚Alesund, the EISCAT Svalbard radar (ESR) and the CUTLASS Finland HF radar, to investigate the dynamics of the cusp region during pulsed reconnection events. The optical data obtained from the MSP i...
