Magnetospheric physics (Magnetotail; Plasma sheet; Storms and substorms) We examine the distribution and propagation of energy in the plasma sheet and lobes using observations and simulations for three substorms. The substorms occurred on 9 March 1995, 10 December 1996, and 27 August 2001 and have b...
