Scientific paper

A close conjunction of several satellites (LANL, GOES, Polar, Geotail, and Cluster) distributed from the geostationary altitude to about 16 Re downstream in the tail occurred during substorm activity as indicated by global auroral imaging and ground magnetometer data. This constellation of satellites resembles what is planned for the THEMIS (Temporal Hierarchy of Events and Magnetotail Instabilities during Substorms) mission to resolve the substorm controversy on the location of the substorm expansion onset region. In this presentation, we shall show in detail the dipolarization and dynamic changes seen by these satellites associated with a substorm onset/intensification. We shall discuss the propagation of substorm disturbance in the tail and implications on the physical processes for substorms from this THEMIS-like conjunction event.
