Short summary
Observations of the plasma flow direction in the Earth’s magnetosheath are compared with the help of three analytical magnetic-fieldmodels, namely Kobel and Flückiger (1994), Romashets and Vandas (2019), and Vandas and Romashets (2019), which all assume current-free fields in the magnetosheath. 47 magnetosheath passages by spacecraft are analyzed in detail and performance of the models are evaluated. It is concluded that the performances are comparable.
