Scientific paper

A new method is used to examine the radial expansion of the tail current disruption and the substorm onset region. The expansion of the disruption region is specified by examining the time sequence (phase relationship) between the north-south component and the sun-earth component. This method is tested by applying it to the March 6, 1979, event. The phase relationship indicates that the current disruption started on the earthward side of the spacecraft, and expanded tailward past the spacecraft. The method was used for 13 events selected from the ISEE magnetometer data. The results indicate that the current disruption usually starts in the near-earth magnetotail and often within 15 RE from the earth.
