Abstract

Abstract

In this paper we have studied the possibility to identify different types of the magnetopause discontinuities by means of the characteristics of the discontinuities of the magnetic fields, teh bulk flow velocities and the thermaldynamic parameters.This method itself is independent of the normal directions on the magnetopause.The analysis shows that this method may be used to identify several types of the discontinuities which may occur at the magnetopause.
