Scientific paper
An overview of large-scale plasma phenomena is presented based on results of the ICE spacecraft probing of comet Giacobini-Zinner and on worldwide submissions to the Large-Scale Phenomena Discipline Specialist Team of the International Halley Watch. Results indicate that the magnetic field capture and draping model, originated by Alfven, is correct. Examples of tail 'turn on' and evolution are presented with emphasis on the observed Disconnection Events (DEs). The sector boundary model of DEs is consistent with the data and a dramatic example of synergism between in situ data from the VEGAs and ground-based imagery for the DE originating March 8.6, 1986 is presented.
