Abstract In the near-Earth neutral line model, the substorm is triggered by reconnection in the magnetotail and its effects radiate from there. In recent years new observations have suggested a new paradigm for substorms in which there are two coupled acceleration regions. In the current sheet disruption model the substorm is thought to begin in an acceleration region at the inner edge of the plasma sheet (5–10 Re) and to propagate down tail where it may trigger reconnection in the mid-tail (typically > 25 Re). We examine the CDAW 7 substorm in the context of this new substorm paradigm, with emphasis on the role of the substorm injection.
