Band limited micropulsations observed in space during magnetospheric substorm by fluxgate magnetometer on OGO 5
Substorm related magnetic field variations in near geomagnetic tail from OGO 5 inbound pass
An attempt is made to understand some of the magnetotail dynamics by using simultaneous observations from several satellites: Explorers 33 and 35 in the solar wind, IMP 4 in the near magnetotail (30 RE), ATS 1, and OGO 5 in the magnetosphere. It was observed that in the main lobes of the tail the magnetic field increases slowly when the interplanetary magnetic field turns southward, and can decrease slowly after a substorm. The plasma sheet changes indicate a thinning when the interplanetary magnetic field turns southward and an expansion when it turns northward. When combined with the plasma sheet expansion, which has been observed to follow a substorm, these results allow a schematic view of the relations between the changes in the orientation of the solar wind magnetic field, the substorms, and the changes in the tail parameters to be developed.
