We present simultaneous solar wind and magnetospheric observations for a series of flux transfer events (FTEs) observed by the UKS and IRM spacecraft in the outer prenoon magnetosphere on October 28, 1984 (day 302). The CCE satellite, located near local noon, observed an enhancement in the magnetospheric magnetic field strength 4 min prior to each IRM/UKS event, suggesting the antisunward propagation of a compression in the magnetopause surface. We suggest that these compressions resulted from wavy magnetopause motion driven by variations in the solar wind dynamic pressure applied to the magnetosphere, rather than the motion of FTEs formed by magnetic merging.
