Plasmasheet Bz and By have been examined for both ISEE-3 deep tail passes. The plasmasheet Bz component has a relatively strong radial dependence, changing from a primarily northward orientation (Bz=1.25 ¿1.57 nT, pass 2) at 60--100 Re to an almost equal north-south dependence (Bz=-0.20¿1.52 nT, pass 2; Bz=0.22¿1.67 nT, pass 4) at 200-240 Re. The large variances in the field (at all distances) are consistent with the presence of a significant amount of turbulence in the plasma-sheet. The level of turbulence is relatively independent of Kp. No apparent relationship is found to exist between By and Bz. At large distances (>200 Re), Bz shows a trend to more negative values with increasing geomagnetic activity. Bz decreases by ~1 nT as Kp increases from 0 to 5. Magnetic reconnection models are discussed in light of the above results.
