Podgorny, I.M., Dubinin, E.M. and Potanin, Y. N. (1980). On magnetic curl in front of the magnetosphere boundary. Geophysical Research Letters 7: doi: 10.1029/GL007i004p00247. issn: 0094-8276.

The structure of the magnetic field at the boundary of the artifical magnetosphere was studied with the southern component of the magnetic field in the plasma flow. It is shown that due to reconnection of the fields in the region of polar clefts the extended magnetic curl occurs that is disintegrated into smaller loops, magnetic islands. The comparison of the laboratory experimental results and the ISEE results of the magnetic measurements is given.
