Abstract

Our analysis of a sunward Poynting flux throughout magnetosheath and foreshock (directly measured byINTERBALL-1, CLUSTER-4 and DOUBLE STAR TC1), for the first time clearly demonstrates, how the resonances in the magnetospheric boundary layers are transmitted back wards the bow shock: the short pulses of the sunward Poynting flux initiate the strongest (>80%!) 3-wave interactions with the incident dynamic pressure. They start in the foreshock, regulate the bow shock position and oscillations, and then another near- magnetopause 3-wave strong interactions assist plasma flow extra deflections and acceleration downstream the magnetopause.
