Abstract.As well known, the magnetic cross-tail component By in the magnetotail is well correlated with the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By component, and its variation is significant during substorms. A 2.5-dimensional MHD simulation has been carried out on the basis of equilibrium solutions of the quiet magnetotail.
