Scientific paper

Calculations demonstrate that the natural response of particles escaping from the polar ionosphere and moving in the magnetospheric tail to the intensification of the convection electric field leads to the formation of a magnetospheric substorm. A region of elevated plasma pressure which travels toward the earth is formed in the tail; and three stages are clearly delineated in the behavior of the proton energy spectrum, which can be identified with the preliminary, explosive, and recovery phases of a substorm.
