Satellite observations of the magnetospheric boundary (magnetopause and boundary layer) show it to be a very dynamic place, in part due to boundary motion. We present a straightforward technique for identifying boundary motion and for recovering magnetopause and boundary layer structure in a reference frame that comoves with the boundary, that is, a frame in which it is at a standstill.
