Magnetopause crossing
Clear magnetopause crossing     t 14:30
Several transients at  about :
    - 15:30
    - 16:00
    - 16:30  (high B field and high n density)

Aim of the study : monitoring the magnetopause motion by "in situ"
measurements; distinguish between wavy magnetopause motion and isolated
plasma blobs.
Reference : A similar study was done with Interball satellites? 3 Transients
at the dusk side magnetospheric boundary : surface wave or isolated plasma
blobs ?", J. De Keyser, F. Darrouzet, M. Roth et al.
