We will present results from a study of magnetic field data from perigee passes of the Wind spacecraft through the magnetotail during the time period from 1994 to 2000. A database was compiled of 35 passes through the near magnetotail at distances of -15 RE < XGSM < -6 RE and 10 passes through the mid-tail at distances of -30 RE < XGSM < -15 RE. Most of the perigee passes were found to occur within a few RE of the neutral sheet. These events provide a total of over 250 hours of data. By studying the locations at which magnetic field dipolarizations are observed in the Wind perigee passes data set, we hope to develop a statistical representation of the azimuthal and radial extent of the substorm current wedge. Results will be compared to other studies of the magnetotail current systems. We will also discuss the magnetic field fluctuations observed by Wind during the dipolarizations used in the current wedge study.
