Cluster observations of an intense normal component of the electric field at a thin reconnecting current sheet in the tail and its role in the shock-like acceleration of the ion fluid into the separatrix region (2005, background): “Recently, experimental evidence for the existence of current sheet waves similar to those presented here and a determination of their scale size and velocity of propagation has been presented by Zhang et al. [2002] , Sergeev et al. [2003], and, Volwerk et al. [2003].”
Electric current and magnetic field geometry in flapping magnetotail current sheets (2005, methodology): “…large-scale variations (δBx∼15– 30 nT) of the magnetic field, which are typical manifestations of flapping, are associated mainly with wave-like structures on the current sheet surface, propagating in the cross tail direction (Zhang et al., 2002; Runov et al., 2003b; Sergeev et al., 2003).”
Survey of large-amplitude flapping motions in the midtail current sheet (2006, background): “Already first event studies (starting from Zhang et al., 2002) indicated very large and variable tilts in the YZ plane and a predominant propagation Published by Copernicus GmbH on behalf of the European Geosciences Union. in the Y-direction associated with flapping motions, and this was thereafter…”
