The subsolar distance is steady at 7.33 mostly due to the discretization of the fitting. The correlation with the z coordinate of the satellite position as well as the distance is shown below:

Simulation based characterization

  1. Compare fitted model with simulation fitted model.
  2. Define empirical model for simulation magnetopause
  3. Verify tangent direction hypothesis

Satellite data benchmarking

  1. Extract highest intensity arc
  2. Compare with fitted model
