This paper presents a comprehensive review of dispersive Alfvén waves in space and
laboratory plasmas. We start with linear properties of Alfvén waves and show how the …

Dayside transients, such as hot flow anomalies, foreshock bubbles, magnetosheath jets, flux
transfer events, and surface waves, are frequently observed upstream from the bow shock …

This book addresses hybrid simulation of plasmas; it is aimed at developing insight into the
essence of plasma behavior. Major current applications are to astrophysical and space …

The magnetopause and boundary layer are typically characterized by large amplitude
transverse wave activity with frequencies below the ion cyclotron frequency. The signatures …

Recent numerical simulations suggest that as soon as the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI)
has grown nonlinearly to form a highly rolled‐up vortex, plasma mixing is inevitably …

We present a review of observations and theories of the dynamics of Jupiter's
magnetosphere from Pioneer to New Horizons. We suggest that Jupiter's solar wind–driven …

Kelvin–Helmholtz instability plays a particularly important role in plasma transport at
magnetospheric boundaries because it can control the development of a turbulent boundary …

We have used THEMIS measurements to determine how the ion and electron temperatures
and their ratio (Ti/Te) change spatially in the magnetosheath and plasma sheet and to …

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 …

We examine traversals on 20 November 2001 of the equatorial magnetopause boundary
layer simultaneously at∼ 1500 magnetic local time (MLT) by the Geotail spacecraft and at∼ …
