Abstract The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and operations are designed to
provide the maximum reconnection science. The mission phases are chosen to investigate …

Modes and manifestations of the explosive activity in the Earth's magnetotail, as well as its
onset mechanisms and key pre-onset conditions are reviewed. Two mechanisms for the …

We report THEMIS observations of a dipolarization front, a sharp, large‐amplitude increase
in the Z‐component of the magnetic field. The front was detected in the central plasma sheet …

Using Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms observations
from four tail seasons, we study the three‐dimensional structure of the dipolarization front …

We discuss results of a superposed epoch analysis of dipolarization fronts, rapid (δt< 30 s),
high‐amplitude (δBz> 10 nT) increases in the northward magnetic field component …

Spatial gradients of high‐speed flows in the midtail plasma sheet are determined using
multipoint observations from the Cluster spacecraft along the “dawn‐dusk” direction …

Dipolarization fronts (DFs), characterized by a strong and steep increase of the tail magnetic
field component Bz normal to the neutral plane and preceded by a much less negative dip of …

Using three‐dimensional MHD simulations of magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail, we
investigate the fate of earthward bursty bulk flows (BBFs). The flow bursts are identified as …

Dipolarization fronts (DFs) are frequently detected in the Earth's magnetotail from XGSM=−
30 RE to XGSM=− 7 RE. How these DFs are formed is still poorly understood. Three …

Abstract The Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) on the
two Van Allen Probes spacecraft is the magnetosphere ring current instrument that will …
