Short summary
Short summary
This paper describes the development of empirical models that are capable of predicting Pc3 pulsation intensity from solar wind parameters (e.g. plasma flow speed, proton density, and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation). We also calculate the typical timescales at which different solar wind parameters influence the excitation of these waves: solar wind speed influences pulsation intensity at much longer timescales (about 2 days) than IMF orientation (about 1 hour).

Short summary
Short summary
This paper presents a statistical study of the equatorward boundary of small-scale field-aligned currents (SSFACs) as observed by ESA's Swarm satellites and investigates the relation between this boundary and NASA’s Van Allen probe observed plasmapause (PP). It is found that the two boundaries are closely coincident in the midnight LT sector, where the new PP is formed. Our results point to the role of SSFACs in the creation of the PP and offer a unique tool to monitor PP dynamics.
