Abstract
The paper analyzes one pass (August 26, 2007) of the THEMIS spacecraft across the dayside low–latitude magnetopause. We discuss the plasma and magnetic field data with motivation to identify sources of observed quasiperiodic plasma transients that are accompanied with bipolar BN signatures.
Such events at the magnetopause are usually attributed to pressure pulses coming from the solar wind, foreshock fluctuations, flux transfer events or surface waves.
