Scientific paper

A body of experimental evidence suggests the view that a substorm involves the formation of a substorm X-type neutral line in the near-earth region of the plasma sheet and ensuing magnetic reconnection that converts the stored magnetic energy of the tail to power to drive the substorm. In a few-minute transient phase that starts at the moment of neutral-line formation, a plasmoid (i.e., a closed magnetic loop structure) is formed and ejected from the tail, leaving a very thin downstream plasma sheet extending indefinitely down the tail from the near-earth neutral line.
