During the interval, a weak storm is driven with minimum Sym-H index of −33 nT at 04:12 UT. In the main phase of the storm, AE index had been kept at a high level with a maximum value of about 400 nT. The TC-1 satellite located at (−10.6, 3.2, −0.1) Re observed evident characteristics of substorm ex- pansion phase and the process of magnetic field dipolarization at the near-Earth magnetotail during 02:00—03:00 UT. Prior to the dipolarization, tailward flow (vx −100 km/s) lasting over 3 min with the characteristics of high hot ion temperature, low density and flowing alon
