Geotail orbit projected onto the GSE XY plane from 11:40 to 18:30 UT on February 11, 2007, when the magnetopause boundary layer was continuously detected in the low-latitude flank on the dawnside. The dashed lines indicate the modelled location of the Earth’s magnetopause (MP) for the typical dynamic pressure of 2.1 nPa (Shue et al. 1998) and that for a very low dynamic pressure of 0.14 nPa with consideration of aberration
