Scientific paper

A complete unified description of the magnetically open steady-state magnetotail was produced by introducing a simple model of the plasma sheet and its associated magnetic field into the tail model of Macek et al. (1991). Using the new model, calculations are carried out of magnetotail cross sections, magnetic field strengths, and plasma densities as a function of downstream distance. A comparison of the results with the ISEE 3 and Pioneer 7 data shows that the model accurately describes the gross features of the distant terrestrial magnetotail.
