| Zusammenfassung |
| We apply the inverse reconstruction technique based on the two-dimensional
time-dependent Petschek-type reconnection model to a dual bipolar magnetic
structure observed by THEMIS B probe in the Earth's magnetotail during a
substorm on 22 February 2008 around 04:35 UT. The technique exploits the
recorded bipolar magnetic field variation as an input and provides the
reconnection electric field and the location of the X-line as an output. As a
result of the technique application, we get (1) the electric field, reaching
~1.1 mV/m at the maximum and consisting of two successive pulses with
total duration of ~6 min, and (2) the approximate X-line position
located in the magnetotail between 18 and 20 RE. |
