             abstract = "We study the effect of Earth's dipole tilt angle and 
                         interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bx and By components on the 
                         location of reconnection and the energy conversion at the 
                         magnetopause. We simulate southward IMF satisfying both inward- 
                         and outward-type Parker spiral conditions during three different 
                         dipole tilt angles using a global magnetohydrodynamic model 
                         GUMICS-4. We find that positive (negative) Bx contributes to the 
                         magnetopause reconnection line location by moving northward 
                         (southward) and positive (negative) dipole tilt angle by moving it 
                         southward (northward). The tilt shifts the dayside load region 
                         toward the winter hemisphere and the summer cusp toward the 
                         equatorial plane. Magnetic flux hence piles effectively in the 
                         summer hemisphere leading to increased magnetopause currents that 
                         enhance the Poynting flux through the magnetopause. We find that 
                         the intensity of the energy conversion in the generators is 
                         strongly affected by the dipole tilt angle, whereas intensity in 
                         the load region is mainly affected by IMF Bx. ©2014. American
