Time series of the X, Y, Z components of the magnetic field at THEMIS D are plotted in GSM coordinates. Vertical dotted lines are the times of onset of the magnetic perturbations associated with ion flow bursts. Each flow burst is associated with an increase in Bz and fluctuations in all components.
