Specific events recorded by ISEE-3 passage through the earth magnetotail at 80-140 earth radii are discussed. The data were taken during March 20-28, 1983, when Kp ranged from +6 to -40, and included both plasma and magnetic field signatures. Magnetic field polar angle reversals from N-S flows were detected, along with alteration in the bulk plasma flow from tailward to stagnation. Tailward flow was associated with negative field values, while stagnation was mainly present with positive field values. The tail plasma at 100 radii exhibited changes shortly after a substorm event which featured particle ejection at 6.6 earth radii. The plasma sheet swept by the events could have a 25-50 radii length scale.
