Cluster observations of sudden impulses in the magnetotail caused by interplanetary shocks and pressure increases

Sudden impulses (SI) in the tail lobe magnetic field associated with solar wind pressure enhancements are investigated using measurements from Cluster. The magnetic field components during the SIs change in a manner consistent with the assumption that an antisunward moving lateral pressure enhanc...
