Multi-spacecraft observations of magnetopause surface waves - ISEE 1 and 2 determinations of amplitude, wavelength and periodThe multispacecraft ISEE mission made it possible to study propagation of surface waves on the magnetopause. One case studied in detail was near local noon at a latitude of 24.4 deg. The inferred instantaneous magnetopause normal vectors oscillated about the model magnetopause normal vector in a manner expected for a wave propagating along the magnetopause from the subsolar region. By assuming a model monochromatic wave and a constant magnetopause thickness, the best-fit that yields the three wave parameters( amplitude, wavelength, and period) is determined.
