摘要： Magnetic data from GOES geosynchronous satellites were applied for statistical study of the low‐latitude dayside magnetopause under a strong interplanetary magnetic field of southward orientation when the reconnection at the magnetopause was saturated. From minimum variance analysis, we determined the magnetopause orientation and compared it with predictions of a reference model. The magnetopause shape was found to be substantially distorted by a duskward shifting such that the nose region appeared in the postnoon sector. At equatorial latitudes, the shape of magnetopause was characterized by a prominent bluntness and by a trench formed in the postnoon sector. The origin of distortions was regarded in the context of the storm‐time magnetospheric currents and the large‐scale quasi‐state reconnection at the dayside magnetopause. 其他題名： J. Geophys.
