Balogh, A.; Liu, Zhenxing; Cui, Hailong +2 more

The signatures of flux ropes with obvious core magnetic field are detected by Cluster II at the dayside magnetopause during 11: 00-11: 15 UT on Mar. 2, 2001. The similar characteristics can be found from the magnetic field variations recorded by the four spacecrafts (Cluster II C1-C4). All the three (-/+) bipolar signatures in the BN com-ponent ar…
