Characteristics of electrostatic solitary waves observed in the plasma sheet boundary: Statistical analyses

We present the characteristics of the Electrostatic Solitary Waves (ESW) observed by the Geotail spacecraft in the plasma sheet boundary layer based on the statistical analyses. We also discuss the results referring to a model of ESW generation due to electron beams, which is proposed by computer si...
