EISCAT-Cluster observations of quiet-time near-Earth magnetotail fast flows and their signatures in the ionosphere

We report observations of a sequence of quiet-time Earthward bursty bulk flows (BBFs) measured by the Cluster spacecraft in the near-tail plasma sheet (XGSM ~ −12 to −14 <I>R</I><sub>E</sub>) in the evening sector, and by simultaneous high-resolution measurements in the no...
