The magnetometer instrument MPO-MAG on-board the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) of
the BepiColombo mission en-route to Mercury is introduced, with its instrument design, its …

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 …

High‐speed flows in the inner central plasma sheet (first reported by Baumjohann et
al.(1990)) are studied, together with the concurrent behavior of the plasma and magnetic …

The near‐Earth neutral line (NENL) model of magnetospheric substorms is reviewed. The
observed phenomenology of substorms is discussed including the role of coupling with the …

Using four months of tail data obtained by the three‐dimensional plasma instrument on
board the AMPTE/IRM satellite in 1986, we have done a statistical survey on the behavior of …

抄録 The Geotail spacecraft carries a high-resolution Magnetic Field Experiment to provide
magnetic field data in the frequency range below 50 Hz. This experiment includes dual …

Examination of Geotail measurements in the near‐tail (X>− 30 RE) has revealed the
presence of small flux ropes in the plasma sheet. A total of 73 flux rope events were …

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 present study examines the temporal structure of the fast flow in the plasma sheet using
both observations and simulations. The data analysis part adopts the strictest criterion ever …
