Scientific paper

Terrestrial magnetotail thinning and expansion were tracked with three VELA spacecraft and the OGO-5 satellite. A statistical analysis was used to superpose geomagnetic AL epochs onto the variations. The variations were highly correlated with substorm events as evidenced by a repeatable pattern of auroral zone geomagnetic activity. Thinning at 15-20 earth radii was associated with a negative magnetic bay pattern, and expansion began as the bay subsided. The expansions were also correlated with generally enhanced geomagnetic activity.
