... Plasma sheet is the region of closed field lines in the equatorial magnetotail (however, see also plasmoids ). Plasma sheet is typically divided into plasma sheet proper, or central plasma sheet , and plasma sheet boundary layer (PSBL) , the latter being at higher latitudes adjacent to the tail lobes. ... This is evident both in storms time ring current and substorm time plasma sheet (including late growth and the expansion phases; see, e.g., Daglis et al., ... Res., ... J. Geophys. ...
