英文摘要	Cluster spacecraft observed an earthward flowing plasmoid along with a travelling compression region (TCR) structure in southern plasma sheet boundary layer (PSBL) at 21:09 UT of September 19, 2001. We have reconstructed the two-dimensional topology of the magnetic field structure observed by Cl using Grad-Shafranov reconstruction method. Results show that Cl passed through part of a plasmoid, which compressed the lobe magnetic field and formed a TCR. The size of the whole plasmoid structure in X direction is estimated to be about 3 RE. Furthermore, using multi-spacecraft observations, we have found some detailed information about this structure. First, Cl observed bi-streaming electron components, which supports our suggestion that the spacecraft passed through closed field lines. Second, a small magnetic field perturbation within this plasmoid accompanied by slight decrease in electron flux suggests that a flux rope core might exist at the center of the plasmoid.; Engineering, Multidisciplinary; Materials Science, Multidisciplinary; SCI(E); EI; 中国科学引文数据库(CSCD); 0; ARTICLE; qgzong@pku.edu.cn; 2; 330-337; 58
