GEOTAIL observation of tilted X-line formation during flux transfer events (FTEs) in the dayside magnetospheric boundary layers

The magnetic field and plasma structures during two successive crossings of the subsolar magnetospheric boundary layers (i.e. MagnetoPause Current Layer (MPCL) and Low-Latitude Boundary Layer (LLBL)) under the southward-dawnward IMF are examined on the basis of the data obtained by the GEOTAIL sp...
