Abstract

We analyze the dependence of the magnitude of the magnetic field, its three components, and the clock angle in the magnetosheath just in front of the magnetopause on the same values in the solar wind before a shock wave using the data of the THEMIS experiment. We take into account the time delay of the solar wind arrival at the subsolar point of the magnetopause. We obtain dependencies of the components of the magnetic field and the clock angle at the magnetopause on the corresponding quantities in the solar wind for different averaging intervals. We point to the events for which the direction of the magnetic field at the magnetopause is highly different from the direction of the magnetic field in the solar wind up to the sign change.
