Solar wind control of plasma number density in the near-Earth plasma sheet: three-dimensional structure

The plasma number density in the near-Earth plasma sheet depends on the solar wind number density and the north-south component of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF <I>B<sub>z</sub></I>) with time lag and duration of several hours. We examined the three-dimensional struct...
