Global hybrid (electron fluid, kinetic ions) and fully kinetic simulations of the magnetosphere have been used to show surprising interconnection between shocks, turbulence, and …
Using 2008–2011 data from the five Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) spacecraft in Earth's subsolar magnetosheath, we study high …

Magnetosheath high‐speed jets—localized dynamic pressure enhancements typically of∼ 1 Earth radius in size—impact the dayside magnetopause several times per hour. Here we …
The plasma sheet is populated in part by the solar wind plasma. Four solar entry mechanisms are examined:(1) double cusp or double lobe reconnection,(2) Kelvin …

It has recently been proposed that ripples inherent to the bow shock during radial interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) may produce local high speed flows in the …
Abstract Using Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) data, we find, classify, and analyze transient dynamic pressure enhancements in the magnetosheath (jets) from May 2015 to …
