A small, isolated substorm with an expansion phase onset at 0739 UT on January 28, 1983 was well observed by ground-based instrumentation as well as by low- and high-altitude spacecraft. Because of the comprehensive nature of the data coverage, including ISEE-3 identification of plasmoid signatures in the deep tail (about 220 earth radii) associated with the substorm, a detailed timeline of the growth, expansion, and recovery phases of the substorm can be provided. The plasma, energetic particle, and field signatures at ISEE-3 are considered within the framework of the near-earth data. Quantitative estimates of substorm energy input and output relationships are made for this case, and the timing and physical dimensions of the deep tail disturbance implied are evaluated by the global observations available.
