  2. Locations in GSM 0200-0350 UT

  3. Overview in GSM • 4 dipolarisations: • N°3 (Main substorm) observed first • on Thd considering the start of • the increase of the energetic ion • pressure • (cf. C. Jacquey): • 0222 UT • 023720 UT • 025011 UT (Main substorm) • 030517 UT • Vx > 0 Earthward flow in average • Vy < 0 in some cases … • Signatures on ion density on Thb • and Thccan be observed before • near-earth dipolarisation 4 3 2 1

  4. Thc, X~ - 20 RE, 0200-3300 UT Thc in the mid tail • Filter banks data • Small magnetic activity and electric activity in the mid-tail related to 1, 2 • No electromagnetic activity for the • main substorm (event 3) and event 4. • Density variations suggest vertical motions or/and thickness variations of the current sheet • Ion velocity variations notably changes of sign have to be analysed from distribution functions: - beam like structures at high and low energy - Boundary motion PS  Lobe

  5. Thd, X~ - 10 RE, 0200-3300 UT Thd near-earth s/c  Filter banks data Strong magnetic and electric activity around 3 Hz, 12 Hz, 48 Hz The electromagnetic activity starts after the start of the increase of the energetic ion pressure  local activity associated with the local dipolarisation Accelerated electrons

  15. Summary/questions • Small or no electromagnetic or electrostatic activity detected by mid-tail s/c • Strong electromagnetic activity on near-earth s/c • Whistler emissions before, during and after the local dipolarisation • Poynting vector directed away from equator and earthward  not so far from the source which has to be very localized • Role of these whistler emissions in the substorm onset? • Can we use these emissions to track the onset region? • Relation of these emissions with ground-based observations To be continued
