Region: Tail Plasma Sheet

Caution level: Low

There are no known problems in the tail plasma sheet. However, be careful of data near the lobes, as there are significant problems in the lobes.

Known problems:

Problem Type	Frequency of Occurence	Ease of detection	Remediable?	Data Loss Severity
No known problems

Examples of good EFW data in the plasma sheet

This data, from 2001-09-22, shows good agreement between both probe pairs of EFW (red, black) and CIS (blue). Low magnetic field strength results in no measurement by EDI. Offsets of 1.2 (P12) and 1.5 (P34) mV/m have been subtracted in the X direction. More information on figure quantities is given here.
