Scientific paper

Three flux transfer events (FTEs) observed on September 4, 1984 by the AMPTE/IRM spacecraft in the Southern Hemisphere magnetosheath were studied in terms of the temporal variations of magnetic field, plasma velocity, plasma density and pressure, and energetic-particle density in order to determine the orientation and motion of the flux tube or magnetopause bulge causing the FTE signature. Results of minimum variance analysis of the magnetic field and the convection electric field are presented, together with the determination of the velocity of the DeHoffmann-Teller frame and the test of the Walen (1944) relation. The results are interpreted in terms of various proposed FTE models.
