Disruption of magnetospheric current sheet by quasi-electrostatic field
Recent observational evidence has indicated that local current sheet disruptions are excited by an external perturbation likely associated with the kinetic ballooning (KB) instability initiating at the transition region separating the dipole- and tail-like geometries. Specifically a quasi-electr...
