Scientific paper

The near-earth magnetotail is an important region in magnetospheric dynamics. However, there have been few observational studies on the global structure of plasma density, temperature and magnetic fields in the magnetotail. We present a statistical study of these physical parameters by using the data acquired from the GEOTAIL spacecraft during 7 year period of 1995-2001. The distribution map of plasma density, temperature, magnetic field and Alfven speed is examined over the region of|XGSM|=10~50 Re and|YGSM| < 10Re. In this statistical approach, we also show how geomagnetic activities and solar wind conditions such as Kp and IMF affect the global structure of the magnetotail.
