Scientific paper

the length of the geomagnetic tail, estimated on the basis of the open model of the magnetosphere, is generally taken to be about 1000 earth radii. Here, it is shown that a tail-like structure consisting of field lines disconnected from the earth and lying downstream from the tail reconnection region will typically remain present up to distances of about 5000 earth radii. At even larger distances, the most prominent terrestrial effect is expected to be substorm-associated plasmoids propagating in the solar wind.
