Scientific paper

A better knowledge of the statistical features of reconnection and bursty bulk flow associated turbulence is essential for the understanding of multi-scale redistribution of energy in the Earth's plasma sheet. Statistical analysis of multi-scale properties of turbulence facilitates to understand the interaction of the plasma flow with the dipolar magnetic field and to recognize the remote or nearby temporal and spatial characteristics of reconnection. The main emphasis of this presentation is on studying the specific statistical features of reconnection and plasma flow associated magnetic fluctuations. The transiency of driving and the associated non-stationarity of multi-scale fluctuations makes the estimation of statistical features difficult. Additional complexity is introduced by the presence of waves, boundaries or/and large-scale gradients which induce anisotropic fluctuations and increase intermittency. Nevertheless, the scaling ranges associated with MHD turbulent cascade, Hall -MHD and large-scale fluctuations can be identified.
