• Localized aurora beyond the auroral oval (2007, background): “However, there is also the view that the BBF and streamers are directly driven by variations of the solar wind [Lyons et al., 2000].”
• On the current sheets surrounding dipolarizing flux bundles in the magnetotail: The case for wedgelets (2013, methodology): “…and region-2-sense FACs, and as a DFB moves earthward, it is expected to generate equatorward propagating north-south arcs, often originating at poleward boundary intensifications [e.g., Kauristie, et al., 2000; Zesta et al., 2000, 2002; Nakamura et al., 2001; Nishimura et al., 2010a, 2010b].”
• Substorm Current Wedge Revisited (2015, background): “The spatial scale of BBFs has been determined to lie in the range 1–5 RE in the azimuthal (y) direction (Sergeev et al. 1996a; Angelopoulos et al. 1997; Nakamura et al. 2001, 2004; Sergeev et al. 2004).”
• Motion of the dipolarization front during a flow burst event observed by Cluster (2002, methodology): “Yet the fact that auroral precipitation always takes place associated with the flow burst [Nakamura et al., 2001a] suggests that each flow burst loses energy on its way to the near-Earth region by interacting with ambient plasma/field and creating field aligned currents.”
• Spatial scale of high‐speed flows in the plasma sheet observed by Cluster (2004, background): “Considering the fact that these flow bursts are closely related to auroral activations in the ionosphere [Nakamura et al., 2001], this could reflect the asymmetry in the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling process of the flows.”
• Entropy and plasma sheet transport (2007, background): “Many observers have interpreted BBF events as bubbles [e.g., Sergeev et al., 1996; Kauristie et al., 2000; Nakamura et al., 2001; Walsh et al., 2009].”
• Bursty bulk flows and dipolarization in MHD simulations of magnetotail reconnection (2011, unknown): “Both features are consistent with observed near‐Earth signatures of flow bursts related to auroral streamers [e.g., Fairfield et al., 1999; Lyons et al., 1999;Zesta et al.,2000; Nakamura et al., 2001a, 2001b; Sergeev et al., 2004; Grocott et al., 2004].”
