The Dayside Open/Closed Field line Boundary Ground-based optical determination and examination

post nubila phoebus ii The Open/Closed field line Boundary (OCB) is the most important boundary in the magnetospheric system. On the dayside, the equatorward edge of the 6300 Å[OI] cusp aurora can be used as a proxy for the OCB. This work, which is a dissertation for the degree of Philosophiæ Doctor...
