Electric current and magnetic field geometry in flapping magnetotail current sheets

Using four-point magnetic field measurements by the Cluster spacecraft, we statistically analyze the magnetic field and electric current configurations during rapid crossings of the current sheet observed in July-October 2001 at geocentric distances of 19 <i>R<sub>E</sub></i...
