| 内容記述 | The magnetic field in the plasmoid which is created by the reconnection of magnetic field lines at a neutral line formed in the near-earth region of the plasma sheet at substorm onset, and which flows out of the magnetotail into the magnetosphere's wake, displays a strong positive or negative Y(SM) component that has been difficult to reconcile with the standard, two-dimensional reconnection geometry. It is shown that this deviation of the magnetic field is a manifestation of the newly-reconnected field line loop's draping toward the tail's central or midnight meridian, and that the draping is a consequence of the three-dimensional plasma flow associated with the reconnection process. |
