Abstract
An initial survey of distant tail energetic particle phenomena from Geotail shows that (1) energetic ions of both solar wind and ionospheric origin populate the distant tail, (2) the entry of energetic ions from the magnetosheath into the magnetotail can take place many tens of earth radii behind the Earth in a transient manner, (3) energetic molecular ions of ionospheric origin are present in the distant tail during very high geomagnetic activity, and (4) energetic ion flux enhancements and substorm intensifications are temporally correlated.
