摘要

The magnetosheath plays a central role in the solar wind-magnetospheric coupling. Yet the effects of its crossing on solar wind structures such as magnetic clouds (MCs) are generally overlooked when assessing their geoeffectivity. Using 82 MCs observed simultaneously in the solar wind and the magnetosheath, we carry out the first statistical study of the alteration of their magnetic structure in the magnetosheath. For each event, the bow shock properties are obtained from a magnetosheath model. The comparison between the model results and observations shows that in 80% of cases, the MHD-based model captures well the magnetosheath transition; the other events are discussed separately. We find that just downstream of the bow shock the variation of the magnetic field direction shows a very good anticorrelation (r = ?0.91) with the angle between the upstream magnetic field and the shock normal. We then focus on the magnetic field north-south component B_z because of its importance for geoeffectivity. Although the sign of B_z is generally preserved in the magnetosheath, we also find evidence of long-lasting intervals of opposite B_z signs in the solar wind and the magnetosheath during some events, with a |B_z| reversal >10 nT at the magnetopause. We find that these reversals are due to the draping of the field lines and are associated with predominant upstream B_y. In those cases, the estimated position of the regions of antiparallel fields along the magnetopause is independent of the sign of the upstream B_z. This may have strong implications in terms of reconnection.
