A multi-scale analysis of magnetotail turbulence in the Earth's tail current sheet is presented based on Cluster magnetometer observations. Both Fourier and wavelet analysis is used to describe the spectral index and scaling indices of the turbulence for different frequency regions. Flows in the tail are very important for driving the observed turbulence. There is a strong correlation between the maximum perpendicular flow velocity and the turbulence power for maximum velocities Full Article (PDF, 2912 KB) Citation: Volwerk, M., Vörös, Z., Baumjohann, W., Nakamura, R., Runov, A., Zhang, T.
