Scientific paper

The first descriptions of combined tail measurements from the Pioneer Venus plasma analyzer, magnetometer, and plasma wave detector are presented. The analysis concentrates on those orbits which are representative of the first tail passage. Summary plasma analyzer parameters are used to show that waves occurring at the boundary of the magnetotail can be identified as Doppler-shifted ion acoustic oscillations. High-density plasma distributions in the magnetotail region usually appear to be non-Maxwellian at the highest time resolution. These distorted distribution functions are generally accompanied by enhanced plasma wave signals and magnetic field reversals indicative of electric currents. A different time for the spacecraft entrance into the magnetotail from that previously defined is identified. It is shown that the wave activity in the Venus tail appears similar to the broadband noise identified in the earth's tail, except that at Venus the levels are usually higher.
