Asymmetry in the Earth’s magnetotail neutral sheet rotation due to IMF $$B_y$$ B y sign?
Abstract Evidence suggests that a non-zero dawn–dusk interplanetary magnetic field (IMF $$B_y$$ B y ) can cause a rotation of the cross-tail current sheet/neutral sheet around its axis aligned with the Sun–Earth line in Earth’s magnetotail. We use Geotail, THEMIS and Cluster data to statistically in...
