Scientific paper

Using eight months of AMPTE/IRM plasma and magnetic field data, a statistical survey on the balance of total (thermal and magnetic) pressure in the earth's plasma sheet and tail lobe was conducted. About 300,000 measurements obtained in the plasma sheet and the lobe were compared for different levels of magnetic activity as well as different distances from the earth. These data show that lobe and plasma sheet pressure balance very well. Approximately constant total pressure was also seen during a quiet time pass when IRM traversed nearly the whole magnetotail in the vertical direction, from the southern hemisphere lobe through the neutral sheet and into the northern plasma sheet boundary layer.
