Magnetic field and plasma observations from magnetotail passes of the AMPTE/IRM satellite are used to study the low-frequency magnetic fluctuation energy density as a function of several local plasma parameters. Two statistical constraints on this quantity are found, one a function of proton pressure, one a function of proton flow speed, suggesting that ion-driven electromagnetic instabilities may contribute to the observed fluctuations. ¿ 2001 American Geophysical Union
