Scientific paper

The development of a magnetotail cross section model is examined. The characteristics of the model are described. The flux content and magnetic field component are evaluated. The model predictions for the magnetotail are compared with observations. The model predicts insignificant flattening in the near-earth magnetotail, and sizable flattening in the deep and the distant magnetotail caused by the anisotropic magnetic pressure of magnetosheath field lines. Correlation between the model and observations for the distant magnetotail, magnetopause occurrence, and the magnetopause attitude is observed.
