Duskward displacement of plasmoids and reconnection in the near-Earth magnetotail
Abstract Magnetic reconnection in the near-Earth magnetotail is responsible for explosive release of energy during substorms and auroral breakups. This near-tail reconnection was previously assumed to occur around the midnight meridian, where earthward flows were typically observed. Based on observa...
