Аннотация:Characteristics of low latitude boundary layer (LLBL) of the Earth's
magnetosphere are investigated using data of Interball/Tail probe observations.
The role of different processes of LLBL formation is discussed. The high level
of magnetosheath turbulence is taken into account. It is shown that the
turbulent nature of magnetic field and plasma fluctuations in the magnetospheath
is one of the main factors determining the structure of LLBL. The results of
Interball/Tail probe observations of the event 9 March 1996 are analyzed. The
thickness of LLBL is determined for the number of cases. The change of LLBL
thickness under the influence of the changes of solar wind parameters is
investigated. Results of observations are compared with the theory which
explains the value of LLBL thickness as the result of plasma transport inside
the magnetosphere.
