Does a Local B‐Minimum Appear in the Tail Current Sheet During a Substorm Growth Phase?

Abstract Magnetic configurations with dBz/dr > 0 in the midtail current sheet are potentially unstable to various instabilities associated with the explosive substorm onset. Their existence is hard to confirm with observations of magnetospheric spacecraft. Here we use remote sensing by low‐altitu...
