Short summary
The magnetopause (MP) is the primary interaction region between solar wind and the magnetic field of planet Earth and understanding of its behaviour also helps to better understand space weather. One famous model of the MP is the Shue et al. model, designed for the dayside and near-Earth situation. We take data of the ARTEMIS mission orbiting the moon and compare the MP position and shape to the model. We find differences in the location prediction but good agreement for the MP normal direction.
