Scientific paper

Geotail observes electron density in the magnetotail lobes. We investigate relationship between the lobe density and the solar wind parameters. Lobe plasma density is higher, when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is stronger, solar wind speed is lower, and solar wind density is higher. In the north tail lobe, field-aligned bidirectional fluxes are observed when the IMF has a Bx component (away sector). In the south lobe, they are observed when the IMF has a +Bx component (toward sector). When these bidirectional fluxes are observed, Kp is larger. These IMF-controlled asymmetries are consistent with earlier observations.
