Statistical analysis of magnetotail fast flows and related magnetic disturbances

This study presents an investigation on the occurrence of fast flows in the magnetotail using the complete available data set of the THEMIS spacecraft for the years 2007 to 2015. The fast flow events (times of enhanced ion velocity) are detected through the use of a velocity criterion, therefore...
