Short summary

In this work we present an analysis of the dynamics of suprathermal ions of different masses (H⁺, He⁺, O⁺) during prolonged dipolarizations in the near-Earth magnetotail according to Cluster/RAPID observations in 2001–2005. All dipolarizations from our database were associated with fast flow braking and consisted of multiple dipolarization fronts (DFs). We found statistically that fluxes of suprathermal ions started to increase ~ 1 min before the dipolarization onset and continued.
