TL;DR: The Cluster Ion Spectrometry (CIS) experiment as discussed by the authors measured the full, three-dimensional ion distribution of the major magnetospheric ions (H+, He+, He++, and O+) from the thermal energies to about 40 keV/e.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motion of the dipolarization front during a flow burst event observed by Cluster
Rumi Nakamura,Wolfgang Baumjohann,Berndt Klecker,Y. V. Bogdanova,André Balogh,H. Rème,Jean-Michel Bosqued,Iannis Dandouras,Jean-André Sauvaud,Karl-Heinz Glassmeier,L. M. Kistler,C. G. Mouikis,T. L. Zhang,H. U. Eichelberger,Andrei Runov +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a flow burst was associated with a clear dipolarization ahead of the high-speed part of the predominantly Earthward directed flow, and the authors found that a ∼2000 km thick dipolarisation front moves Earthward and dawnward with a speed of ∼77 km/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial scale of high‐speed flows in the plasma sheet observed by Cluster

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial gradient of high-speed flows in the midtail plasma sheet is determined using multipoint observations from the Cluster spacecraft along the "dawn-dusk" direction (perpendicular to the main flow and in the plane of the tail current sheet) and along the north-south direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cluster observations of an intense normal component of the electric field at a thin reconnecting current sheet in the tail and its role in the shock-like acceleration of the ion fluid into the separatrix region

TL;DR: In this article, measurements from the Cluster spacecraft of electric fields, magnetic fields, and ions are used to study the structure and dynamics of the reconnection region in the tail at distances of ∼18 RE near 22.4 MLT on 1 October 2001.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the electron-scale plasma measurements revealed super-Alfvenic electron jets reaching 15,000 kilometers per second, electron meandering motion and acceleration by the electric field, producing multiple crescent-shaped structures in the velocity distributions, consistent with fast reconnection.
