The existence of regions of closed-loop field lines ('plasmoids') which are ejected down the tail following geomagnetic substorm onsets has been confirmed on the basis of recent observations of the deep geomagnetic tail made by the ISEE 3 spacecraft. The present paper provides some of the results of a study of 37 equal to or greater than 35 keV ion 'bursts' in the deep tail associated with the passage of plasmoids ejected downtail following geomagnetic substorm onsets. The events consist, in general, of four phases. Attention is given to instrumentation, observations of individual plasmoid ion events, and a survey of plasmoid-associated ion events. The reported observations are interpreted in terms of a neutral line model of substorms.
