Scientific paper

A cold, dense plasma sheet (CDPS) is often observed when the IMF has been northward for an extended time period, usually several hours. One such period occurred October 22/23, 2003. During that period the IMF was strongly northward for approximately 36 hours, while Cluster II observed a cold dense plasma sheet. We present detailed global simulation results for this event that show how the CDPS develops due to lobe reconnection, which causes IMF flux tubes to be captured and subsequently convected into the tail, forming the CDPS.
