AB: During the first 6 months of its mission, the 5 THEMIS spacecraft have been operating in a "string of pearls" orbit that provides multi-spacecraft observations of magnetospheric processes on distance scales of .1 - 2 RE. The large gyro radii of the energetic particles measured by the Solid State Telescope (SST) experiment provide an additional means of determining spatial gradients from a single spacecraft. In this study we examine a ~2 hour interval on August 28, 2007 with large (+/-100 km/sec) periodic (~5 minute period) velocity fluctuations observed while the spacecraft where just inside the pre-noon magnetopause.
