Scientific paper

Simultaneous ISEE-3 magnetic field and IMP-8 magnetic field and plasma data have been used to investigate the distant tail lobe average properties under quiet solar wind conditions. Under solar wind pressures of not greater than 5 x 10 to the -10th dynes/sq cm, an average tail lobe strength of 7.1 + or - 1.2 nT, and an average plasma beta of 0.3, are found. Results suggest that under quiet solar wind conditions the distant tail lobes are relatively free from plasma and are usually dominated by the magnetic field pressure.
