Themis observed several near-simultaneous bipolar signatures on 8 June 2007 during an outbound postnoon magnetopause (MP) crossing in its string-of-pearl configuration. We interpret each as a flux transfer event (FTE). Whether observed in the magnetosheath or in the dayside magnetosphere, each FTE is linked to the MP layer and the northward reconnection exhausts for the steady southward IMF conditions. TH-C observed a bifurcated MP current as it traversed the active MP layer. This MP crossing was unique in that it lacked a clear FTE signature. A high-resolution MHD simulation (0.0626 RE) suggests that a bifurcation may be generated in the wake of a passing FTE. The same MHD simulation suggests that all of the simultaneously observed FTEs can be explained in terms of a single flux rope within the active MP layer and its remote effects on the dayside magnetosphere and the magnetosheath adjacent to the MP. Cold ions in the dayside magnetosphere with characteristic time-of-flight energy dispersions are likely one such remote effect of the passing FTEs in the nearby MP layer as indicated by the generation of a standing wave train in the normal component of the simulated plasma velocity (VN) and corroborated by the observed VN.
