摘要: The influence of the IMF orientation and magnitude substorm activity on magnetic configuration central plasma sheet at 20-240 earth radii down geomagnetic tail is investigated basis ISEE-3 data. results are presented graphically, high-speed antisolar bulk flows threaded by southward fields shown to be present in distant after periods Bz. effective dayside reconnection efficiency estimated as 25 + or - 4 percent, good agreement with theoretical models.
