Almost 40 years ago the concept of the substorm current wedge was developed to explain
the magnetic signatures observed on the ground and in geosynchronous orbit during …

This paper deals with acceleration processes in the magnetotail and the processes that
enhance particle precipitation from the tail into the ionosphere through electric fields in the …

Using a common methodology to analyze data from the AMPTE/IRM and ISEE 2 satellites
we report on the statistical properties of bursty bulk flow events (BBFs) in the inner plasma …

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 …

The coupling of the plasma sheet to the solar wind is studied statistically using
measurements from various satellite pairs: one satellite in the solar wind and one in either …

Pursuing an idea suggested by Pontius and Wolf (1990), we propose that the “bursty bulk
flows” observed by Baumjohann et al.(1990) and Angelopoulos et al.(1992) are “bubbles” in …

The bulk flows and magnetic-field fluctuations of the plasma sheet are investigated using
single-point measurements from the ISEE-2 Fast Plasma Experiment and fluxgate …

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 …
