Scientific paper

Data on energetic protons, thermal electrons, and magnetic field characteristics obtained by the ISEE 3 in the magnetotail at the distance of 80 R(E) from the earth were analyzed. Many features were found that were present in the ISEE 1 and 2 data. In particular, flow directions of the plasma observed at 80 R(E) were found to be quite consistent with the formation of the near-earth neutral line during the expansion phase, giving further support to the near-earth reconnection model of the magnetospheric substorm described by Eastman et al. (1985).
