Takada, T., Nakamura, R., Baumjohann, W., Asano, Y., Volwerk, M., Zhang, T.L., Klecker, B., Rème, H., Lucek, E.A. and Carr, C. (2006). Do BBFs contribute to inner magnetosphere dipolarizations: Concurrent Cluster and Double Star observations. Geophysical Research Letters 33: doi: 10.1029/2006GL027440. issn: 0094-8276.

We examined the relationship between bursty bulk flow (BBF) events observed by Cluster between -19 RE -8 RE associated with BBFs at Cluster in our dataset suggests two possibilities: near-geosynchronous dipolarization needs another mechanism in addition to flux pile-up and braking, or during near-geosynchronous dipolarization the near-tail current sheet/plasma sheet is too thin to be observed by Cluster.
