Fig. 5

An expansion of the Geotail observations from 16:30 to 16:46 UT, in the same format as Fig. 2. A dotted black rectangle shows the 5-min period used for the Walén analysis (16:36:03–16:41:03 UT, See Fig. 7), and the two grey-hatched periods correspond to the lobe/mantle ions (16:36:03–16:36:15 UT) and the faster magnetosheath-like ions (16:37:51–16:38:15 UT) whose phase space densities are presented in Fig. 6
