摘要
A model of plasma convection in the magnetospheric tail was developed. Although highly simplified, the model adequately describes the main characteristics of the process. We have calculated the physical parameters characterizing the magnetotail, as well as described the convection of fluxtubes in it and the process of electron dropout. The model explains the semiannual variation in magnetic activity.
