| Abstract: | The progress in investigations of magnetotail stability and dynamics is reviewed for the years 1991–1993. Major advances have been made in understanding magnetotail convection, near-tail properties relevant for substorm onset, the change of thermal plasma properties during substorms, and ion acceleration. Also, attempts have been made to integrate different aspects of substorms and different substorm models. Major outstanding problems concern the onset mechanism, electron energization, and substorm recovery. |
