Location and Timing of Magnetic Reconnections in Earth's Magnetotail: Accomplishments of the 29-Year Geotail Near-Earth Magnetotail Survey
T. Nagai   I. Shinohara   Y. Saito   A. Ieda   R. Nakamura   
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics   128(12)    Dec 2023
The spacecraft Geotail surveyed the near-Earth plasma sheet from XGSM = −10 to −31 RE and YGSM = −20 to +20 RE during the period from 1994 to 2022. It observed 243 magnetic reconnection events and 785 tailward flow events under various solar wind ...
