Uberoi, C., Lanzerotti, L.J. and Maclennan, C.G. (1999). Remarks on the intrinsic timescale for reconnection on the dayside magnetopause. Journal of Geophysical Research 104: doi: 10.1029/1999JA900366. issn: 0148-0227.

We show that with reasonable values of anomalous resistivity, surface-wave-induced magnetic reconnection at an interface between two plasma regions (such as the magnetosheath and the magnetopause) has an intrinsic timescale that can explain observations of a delay time between the southward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field and the onset of a flow transfer event at the magnetopause. ¿ 1999 American Geophysical Union
