The dawn–dusk asymmetry of ion density in the dayside magnetosheath and its annual variability measured by THEMIS

The local and global plasma properties in the magnetosheath play a fundamental role in regulating solar wind–magnetosphere coupling processes. However, the magnetosheath is a complex region to characterise as it has been shown theoretically, observationally and through simulations that plasma pr...
