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]RE). The events take place during an interval of northward IMF, as seen in the data from the ACE...
