Scientific paper

Recent analysis has confirmed the existence of the lobe plasma, the extension of the 'boundary layer' and 'plasma mantle' to lunar distances. The observation of the lobe plasma is strongly correlated with the y component of the IMF. Generally, the lobe plasma is observed sporadically for a full day after the moon has entered the tail and a full day before the last magnetopause crossing as it exits the tail. An average extent of approximately 8-10 earth radii inward from the magnetopause is inferred; however, the lobe plasma has been seen all across the tail.
