International audience We study a series of transient entries into the low-latitude boundary layer (LLBL) of all four Cluster spacecraft during an outbound pass through the mid-afternoon magnetopause ( [ XGSM, YGSM, ZGSM ] ˜ [ 2, 7, 9 ] R E ). The events take place during an interval of northward IM...
