Description: Direct measurements of the plasma velocity distributions and simultaneous observations of magnetic fields are used to examine the character of field-aligned currents in the earth's magnetotail during the recovery phase of a magnetic substorm. Three contiguous field-aligned current sheets are identified at the interface between the magnetotail lobe and plasma sheet. Average current densities within these three current sheets are, in order of decreasing distance to the plasma sheet, +3.3 x 10 to the -9th, -1.3 x 10 to the -8th, and +1.1 x 10 to the -8th A/sq m, respectively.
