Abstract
Simultaneous observations of CORALL, DOK-2 and ELECTRON instruments onboard the Interball/Tail probe allow us to restore the plasma pressure distribution at the geocentric distances of 8-15RE with a rather high accuracy. Obtained profiles of the plasma pressure are compared with the tail plasma pressure model by Tsyganenko and Mukai (J. Geophys. Res. 108 (2003) 1136). Some features of pressure profiles are analyzed in detail for cases of a low pressure anisotropy.
