Plasma convection in the magnetotail lobes: statistical results from Cluster EDI measurements

Description : A major part of the plasma in the Earth's magnetotail is populated through transport of plasma from the solar wind via the magnetotail lobes. In this paper, we present a statistical study of plasma convection in the lobes for different directions of the interplanetary magnetic field and for differen...
