Abstract
The geometry and the magnetic field of the magnetotail neutral sheet a t -4R(E) < X < -21 R(E) are studied with ISEE-2 magnetometer data. Neu tral sheet crossings are determined using a local coordinate system. W e show the position of the neutral sheet after the effect of tilt angl e is removed, and construct a smooth model to fit it.
