Scientific paper

Bame et al. (1983) have given plasma measurements for two 12-hour intervals and have identified the plasma regions observed during the January 1-March 30, 1983 traversal by the ISEE-3 spacecraft of a previously unexplored part of the distant geomagnetic tail. Attention is presently given to the 35 keV-1.6 MeV energetic ion and magnetic field measurements made by ISEE-3, relating them to the plasma measurements. The plasma sheet is found to be a region of energetic ion enhanced fluxes, with unidirectionally tailored flow. A characterization accounting for these characteristics involves occurrence of reconnection at a neutral line that lies earthward of the spacecraft.
