Processes associated with the plasma sheet boundary layer
Abstract
The plasma sheet boundary is an important region of energy and mass transfer in the magnetotail. It is probably formed by energized ions ejected from the cross-tail current sheet. Processes associated with the boundary layer are important to many areas of magnetospheric physics. These areas include energetic particles, plasma sheet sources, auroral precipitation, field-aligned currents and discrete auroral arcs, and substorm initiation.
