DOI: 10.1029/2019gl086136
Abstract: Using high‐resolution data of Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we observed a gradual but periodical dipolarization process (DPs) in the Earth's magnetotail for the first time. These sub‐DPs, characterized by increase of Bz component and magnetic magnitude… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl092153
Abstract: The spatial scale and intensity of Earth’s magnetotail current sheet determine the magnetotail configuration, which is critical to one of the most energetically powerful phenomena in the Earth’s magnetosphere, substorms. In the absence of statistical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0002663
Abstract: The thin current sheet of the Earth's magnetotail is the key element of the entire magnetosphere dynamics that significantly depends on a current sheet configuration. Spacecraft measurements have shown that the ion pressure tensor in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/slaa171
Abstract: Earth's magnetotail region provides a unique environment to study plasma turbulence. We investigate the turbulence developed in an exhaust produced by magnetic reconnection at the terrestrial magnetotail region. Magnetic and velocity spectra show broad-band fluctuations… read more here.
