Abstract
Although magnetic reconnection (MR) on Earth's magnetopause has been extensively studied for many years, the details of the reconnected flux ropes on the dayside boundary has proven to be rather illusive in view of their geometry and magnetic topology. While theoretical models often assume open tube-like shapes, global simulations always show that flux ropes formed via reconnection at the magnetopause possess complicated 3D structures. To reveal the natures/features of these flux ropes requires detailed multiple spacecraft measurements and may greatly improve our understanding of solar wind impact on the geospace environment.
