Cusp-like plasma in high altitudes: a statistical study of the width and location of the cusp from Magion-4

The width of the cusp region is an indicator of the strength of the merging process and the degree of opening of the magnetosphere. During three years, the Magion-4 satellite, as part of the Interball project, has collected a unique data set of cusp-like plasma observations in middle and hig...
