Spatial distribution of rolled up Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices at Earth's dayside and flank magnetopause

The Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) can drive waves at the magnetopause. These waves can grow to form rolled-up vortices and facilitate transfer of plasma into the magnetosphere. To investigate the persistence and frequency of such waves at the magnetopause we have carried out a survey of all...
