Scientific paper

Simultaneous high-temporal-resolution measurements of seven flux-transfer events (FTEs) that occurred in late 1984 inside the earth's magnetosphere were carried out by four instruments aboard the AMPTE UKS. The analysis of these data revealed the existence of a multilayered structure with systematic behavior in fields and charged particle populations. It was found that the plasma pressure in the FTE-structures varies in anticorrelation with the field pressure, with the total pressure in general exceeding that of the surrounding medium. The implication of the findings to the models proposed earlier for FTEs is examined.
