             abstract = "We present near-simultaneous measurements from two THEMIS 
                         spacecraft at the dayside magnetopause with a 1.5 h separation in 
                         local time. One spacecraft observes a high-density plasmaspheric 
                         plume while the other does not. Both spacecraft observe signatures 
                         of magnetic reconnection, providing a test for the changes to 
                         reconnection in local time along the magnetopause as well as the 
                         impact of high densities on the reconnection process. When the 
                         plume is present and the magnetospheric density exceeds that in 
                         the magnetosheath, the reconnection jet velocity decreases, the 
                         density within the jet increases, and the location of the faster 
                         jet is primarily on field lines with magnetosheath orientation. 
                         Slower jet velocities indicate that reconnection is occurring less 
                         efficiently. In the localized region where the plume contacts the 
                         magnetopause, the high-density plume may impede the solar 
                         wind-magnetosphere coupling by mass loading the reconnection site.
