Scientific paper

A growth phase case study in the near-earth nightside magnetosphere with AMPTE/CCE data is presented. The observations indicate an increase of the difference between parallel and transverse pressures of the particle distribution, which can lead to or favor the enhancement of the near-earth cross tail current, necessary for the magnetic field configuration changes during the growth phase. The highest relative pressure enhancement is observed for the ionospheric origin O(+) ions, indicating an active participation of the ionosphere in the substorm growth phase.
