Using in situ observations from THEMIS A, D and E during the 2008–2011 tail season, we present a statistical study of the evolution of pressure gradients in the near-Earth tail during bursty bulk flow(BBF) convection...
Strong disturbances associated with auroral substorms originate from the ionosphere–magnetosphere owing to the effects of the solar wind,and the wind field in the ionosphere is related to such substorm activity.Here,...

Low frequency electromagnetic fluctuations in the vicinity of a magnetospheric substorm onset were investigated using simultaneous observations by THEMIS multiple probes in the near-Earth plasma sheet in the magnetota...

When the IMF turns southward, a great amount of magnetic energy is stored in the magnetotail, and the electric field across the magnetotail substantially en-hances. As long as magnetic reconnection (MR) in the mag-net...
