The presence of the broadband electrostatic noise, observed in the distant geomagnetic tail by Imp 8, is appropriately incorporated in investigating the hydromagnetic stability of the magnetotail boundary. The observed level of turbulence is sufficient to quench the instability which may be there in the absence of the turbulence. The period of oscillation is in very good agreement with the observed period.
