A shear B_Y field in the Earth's magnetotail and its variations in the current sheet

Malova, Helmi V.; Grigorenko, Elena E.; Zelenyi, Lev M. +2 more

We use Cluster and THEMIS simultaneous observations to study the spatial distributions of a shear B_Y field in the Plasma Sheet (PS) of the Earth's magnetotail at -31 R_E < X < -9 R_E. The best correlation between the B_Y field in the PS (B_{Y_PS}) and the Y-component of the Interplanetary Magn…
