Scientific paper

Ion, electron, and magnetic field data from the Geotail satellite have been used to generate 3-D models of several hundred fluid, field, and combined parameters in the plasma sheet. Approximately one year is needed for the satellite to adequately sample the entire plasma sheet at radial distances of 10 to 30 Earth radii. Our studies to date have used one or two years of data and have concentrated on features that are not adequately described by MHD. Now, with several more years of data available, it should be possible to separate the data into subsets according to various IMF, plasma, field, and geomagnetic parameters. This will result in full models for each subset of the data. The procedure is similar to a superposed epoch analysis. The latest available 3-D models for each epoch will be presented.
