Description

It is shown, that there is critical value of Dange potential (φD0) where comprehensive quasistagnant region occurs in magnetosphere boundary layer, under combined action of Dange (φD) and Exford-Heins (φE) convection. Convection under φD<φD0 in this layer occurs in antisolar direction, under φD>φD0 - is directed to the Sun
