An analysis of the accuracy of magnetopause reconnection rate variations deduced from cusp ion dispersion characteristics
We present an analysis of the accuracy of the method introduced by Lockwood <i>et al</i>. (1994) for the determination of the magnetopause reconnection rate from the dispersion of precipitating ions in the ionospheric cusp region. Tests are made by applying the method to...
