Scientific paper

A study using 8 years of Geotail observations shows that ion and electron heat fluxes make a significant contribution to the long-term averaged transport of energy in the plasma sheet. Heat fluxes also are important because they are associated with the violation of adiabatic invariants and the generation of field aligned currents. Electromagnetic and thermal energy transport become much larger when only the fastest flows are considered. The heat flux terms therefore make a relatively small contribution to energy transport in models based on the fastest flow periods. The current status of this ongoing study will be summarized in the presentation.
