The magnetosheath flow may take the form of large amplitude, yet spatially localized,
transient increases in dynamic pressure, known as “magnetosheath jets” or “plasmoids” …

Modes and manifestations of the explosive activity in the Earth's magnetotail, as well as its
onset mechanisms and key pre-onset conditions are reviewed. Two mechanisms for the …

Using Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms observations
from four tail seasons, we study the three‐dimensional structure of the dipolarization front …

Earth's magnetotail contains magnetic energy derived from the kinetic energy of the solar
wind. Conversion of that energy back to particle energy ultimately powers Earth's auroras …

Energetic particle injections are critical for supplying particles and energy to the inner
magnetosphere. Recent case studies have demonstrated a good correlation between …

Abstract The Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) on the
two Van Allen Probes spacecraft is the magnetosphere ring current instrument that will …

The occurrence rate of earthward‐propagating dipolarization fronts (DFs) is investigated in
this paper based on the 9 years (2001–2009) of Cluster 1 data. For the first time, we select …

A dipolarizing flux bundle (DFB) is a small magnetotail flux tube (typically<~ 3 RE in XGSM
and YGSM) with a significantly more dipolar magnetic field than its background. Dipolarizing …

Using the electromagnetic fields of a recent MHD simulation of magnetotail reconnection,
flow bursts and dipolarization, we investigate the acceleration of test particles (protons and …

Recent observations have suggested that spatially localized flows of high‐temperature, low‐
density plasma carrying a dipolarized magnetic field (dipolarizing flux bundles, DFBs) play a …
