The structure of strongly tilted current sheets in the Earth magnetotail

We investigate strongly tilted (in the <i>y</i>–<i>z</i> GSM plane) current sheets (CSs) in the Earth magnetotail using data from the Cluster mission. We analyze 29 CS crossings observed in 2001–2004. The characteristic current density, magnetic field at the CS boundary an...
