The Earth's magnetosphere is populated by particles originating from the solar wind\udand the terrestrial ionosphere. A substantial fraction of the plasma from these sources are convected\udthrough the magnetotail lobes. In this paper, we present a statistical\udstudy of convective plasma transport through the Earth's magnetotail lobes for various geomagnetic conditions.\udThe results are based on a combination of density measurements from the Electric Field and Waves\udExperiment (EFW) and convection velocities from the Electron Drift Instrument (EDI) on board the Cluster\udspacecraft. The results show that variations in the plasma flow is primarily attributed to\udchanges in the convection velocity, whereas the plasma density remains fairly constant and shows little\udcorrelation with geomagnetic activity. During disturbed conditions there is also an increased abundance\udof heavier ions, which combined with enhanced convection, cause an accentuation of the mass flow.\udThe convective transport is much slower than the field aligned transport. A substantial amount of\udplasma therefore escape downtail without ever reaching the central plasma sheet
