The four panels show from top to bottom:
| a) | Three components of the magnetic field measured by the fourth Cluster spacecraft named Tango on 1 October 2001 from 09:45 UT till 09:51 UT |
| b) | Three components of the flow velocity measured by Tango over the same time period |
| c) | Bz component of the magnetic field measured by the four Cluster spacecraft, colour coding shown on top of this panel, during the period 09:48:20-09:48:50 UT |
| d) | the corresponding Poincaré index over the same time period as the c) panel |
