We report new large-scale two-dimensional MHD simulations regarding the random onset and interactions of localized coherent structures as well as the long-range behavior of such stochastic systems. With a magnetic shear, multiple coherent structures are formed and aligned with the imposed current sheet due to fluctuation-induced, nonlinear instabilities. These results exhibit certain aspects of the intermittent turbulence model of sporadic localized reconnections for the Earth's magnetotail recently suggested by Chang. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
