Scientific paper

In the fall of 2003 the POLAR and Cluster line of apsides were the closest to each other ever, in local time, and their apogee was near the equatorial plasma sheet. Although macroscopically these spacecraft present only two vantage points in the magnetotail, Cluster provides also its unique tetrahedral configuration, useful for accurate analysis of local boundary motions and currents. Significant progress towards resolving substorm timing and causality can be made even ahead of the THEMIS mission by the study of data from fortuitous conjunctions during this period. Several of the events took place under storm-time conditions (main phase, recovery) and others during isolated substorms. We discuss these events in the context of global activity, and focus on a few of them which were selected for further study.
