Characteristics of plasma flows at the inner edge of the plasma sheet

All known types of auroral zone magnetic activity are associated with closure of open magnetic flux in the magnetotail. As closure is caused by magnetic reconnection we expect to observe fast flows during geomagnetic activity. We have scanned the ion flow data during the first pass of the THEMIS D s...
