TL;DR: In this article, high-speed flows in the inner central plasma sheet are studied, together with the concurrent behavior of the plasma and magnetic field, by using AMPTE/IRM data from about 9 to 19 R(E) in the earth magnetotail.

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of different flow magnitude samples for Earthward transport in the ICPS are statistically evaluated and several representative Bursty Bulk Flow (BBF) events and their relevance to Earth-ward transport are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the improved accuracy and time resolution of the IRM plasma measurements to reexamine the occurrence of high-speed flows as signatures of the reconnection process at the magnetopause.

TL;DR: The Cluster mission as mentioned in this paper provides a new opportunity to study plasma processes and structures in the near-Earth plasma environment using four-point measurements of the magnetic field, which can enable the analysis of the three dimensional structure and dynamics of a range of phenomena which shape the macroscopic properties of the magnetosphere.

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic shear across the magnetopause has been investigated and the magnetic field in the magnetosheath region adjacent to the dayside magnetosphere has been found to depend strongly on the angle between the magnetoheath magnetic field and the geomagnetic field.
