Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) oscillatory processes in different plasma systems, such as the
corona of the Sun and the Earth's magnetosphere, show interesting similarities and …

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

In Earth's low atmosphere, hurricanes are destructive due to their great size, strong spiral
winds with shears, and intense rain/precipitation. However, disturbances resembling …

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 been well demonstrated that the nonlinear Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) instability plays a
critical role for the solar wind interaction with the Earth's magnetosphere. Although the two …

The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, proposed a long time ago for its role in and impact on the
transport properties at magnetospheric flanks, has been widely investigated in the Earth's …

A distinct class of aurora, called transpolar auroral arc (TPA)(in some cases called “theta”
aurora), appears in the extremely high-latitude ionosphere of the Earth when interplanetary …

Extended periods of northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) lead to the formation of a
cold, dense plasma sheet due to the entry of solar wind plasma into the magnetosphere …

At the Earth's magnetopause, both magnetic reconnection and the Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH)
instability can operate simultaneously for southward interplanetary magnetic field conditions …

Abstract We present Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations of a K‐H wave event
under southward IMF conditions, accompanied by ongoing magnetic reconnection. The …
