Magnetotail Current Sheet

A number of recent studies suggests an existence of magnetotail current sheet configurations with tailward Bz gradient during the growth phase of the substorm. Such configurations are especially interesting since they are potentially unstable for different types of instabilities and can lead to explosive reconfiguration of the magnetosphere. However, the observations are rare and ability to observe tailward gradients is very limited. Here we use the global MHD configuration with near-tail Bz minimum to investigate the regions with adiabatic and non-adiabatic behavior of energetic particles. Thus we estimate the locations of the isotropic boundaries for the modelled POES-type spacecraft flybys. We expect that the lessons learned from global MHD simulation may become helpful in exploration of non-monotonic tail current sheet configuration using observations on low-orbiting spacecraft.

Magnetotail Current Sheet

Abstract. A sequence of magnetic field oscillations with an amplitude of up to 30 nT and a time scale of 30 min was detected by four of the five THEMIS spacecraft in the magnetotail plasma sheet. The probes P1 and P2 were at X=−15.2 and −12.7 RE and P3 and P4 were at X=−7.9 RE. All four probes were at −6.5>Y>−7.5 RE (major conjunction). Multi-point timing analysis of the magnetic field variations shows that fronts of the oscillations propagated flankward (dawnward and Earthward) nearly perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic maximum variation (B1) at velocities of 20–30 km/s. These are typical characteristics of current sheet flapping motion. The observed anti-correlation between ∂B1/∂t and the Z-component of the bulk velocity make it possible to estimate a flapping amplitude of 1 to 3 RE. The cross-tail scale wave-length was found to be about 5 RE. Thus the flapping waves are steep tail-aligned structures with a lengthwise scale of >10 RE. The intermittent plasma motion with the cross-tail velocity component changing its sign, observed during flapping, indicates that the flapping waves were propagating through the ambient plasma. Simultaneous observations of the magnetic field variations by THEMIS ground-based magnetometers show that the flapping oscillations were observed during the growth phase of a substorm.
