Scientific paper

Data from the spherical double probe electric-field experiment on ISEE-1 were used to study plasmasheet/lobe boundary crossings during substorms, identified by plasma measurements and by using the electric field probes as a reference for measurements of the spacecraft potential. There are strong electric fields, with a dominant dawn-to-dusk component, throughout the boundary layer outside the plasmasheet for contracting and expanding motions of the plasmasheet and for different magnetic field directions. Characteristic amplitudes and durations are 5 to 10 mV/m and 5 to 15 min. The corresponding E x B vectors are always towards the plasmasheet.
