Scientific paper

Two phases of substorm-associated magnetospheric dynamics are discussed in terms of particles and fields at synchronous orbit. The first phase corresponds to the 'decreases' of energetic particle flux. The second phase is the conventional expansion phase that begins with the 'onset', characterized in the study by (1) a sudden decrease in the tail current and a return of the inflated magnetosphere to a dipolelike configuration, (2) a sudden shift of trapped high-energy particles toward the tail again following contours of constant B, and at the same time (3) a surge of tail plasma toward the earth as the induced electric field now increases the total convection field.
