Strong Energy Conversion at Magnetotail Plasma Sheet Boundary Layer

C. X. Du,
H. S. Fu,
J. B. Cao
et al.

Abstract: The magnetotail plasma sheet boundary layer (PSBL) is a dynamic boundary layer between the hot‐denser plasma sheet and the cold‐tenuous tail lobes. It plays an important role in exchanging mass and energy in the magnetotail. In previous studies, the local current carried by the electron beams has been well understood. The strong energy conversion (E ⋅ J, E is electric field and J is current density), however, is barely reported at the PSBL. Here, using magnetospheric multiscale mission, we find a strong dawn‐d… Show more
