Propagation of Alfvén waves in the magnetotail during substorms

Recent observations from the THEMIS mission have focused attention on the timing of events in the magnetotail during magnetospheric substorms and other periods of geomagnetic activity. Standard models of substorms have generally emphasized convective flows as the major source of energy and momen...
