Scientific paper

Plasma and field data from the ISEE-3 space probe provide evidence that the lobe-plasma sheet boundary is the central part of the distant geomagnetic tail is often a slow-mode shock. Such shocks are predicted by Petchek's (1964) model of the reconnection. If this model applies, then the ISEE-3 observations place the general location of the reconnection diffusion region closer to the earth than x of about -100 earth radii.
