The impact of cold electrons and cold ions in magnetospheric physics

GL Delzanno, JE Borovsky, MG Henderson… - Journal of Atmospheric …, 2021 - Elsevier
A review of the impact of the cold-ion and cold-electron populations in the Earth's
magnetosphere is presented. The cold populations are defined by total energy less than …

Single‐spacecraft detection of rolled‐up Kelvin‐Helmholtz vortices at the flank magnetopause

H Hasegawa, M Fujimoto, K Takagi… - Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Kelvin Helmholtz instability in planetary magnetospheres

JR Johnson, S Wing, PA Delamere - Space Science Reviews, 2014 - Springer
Kelvin–Helmholtz instability plays a particularly important role in plasma transport at
magnetospheric boundaries because it can control the development of a turbulent boundary …

Cluster observations of reconnection due to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at the dawnside magnetospheric flank

K Nykyri, A Otto, B Lavraud, C Mouikis… - Annales …, 2006 - angeo.copernicus.org
On 3 July 2001, the four Cluster satellites traversed along the dawnside magnetospheric
flank and observed large variations in all plasma parameters. The estimated magnetopause …

Altered solar wind‐magnetosphere interaction at low Mach numbers: Coronal mass ejections

B Lavraud, JE Borovsky - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
We illustrate some fundamental alterations of the solar wind‐magnetosphere interaction that
occur during low Mach number solar wind. We first show that low Mach number solar wind …

Review of solar wind entry into and transport within the plasma sheet

S Wing, JR Johnson, CC Chaston, M Echim… - Space Science …, 2014 - Springer
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 …

Dawn‐dusk asymmetries, ion spectra, and sources in the northward interplanetary magnetic field plasma sheet

S Wing, JR Johnson, PT Newell… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
During periods of northward IMF, plasma sheet ions often have two components: hot
(magnetospheric origin) and cold (magnetosheath origin). The temperatures of the cold …
