Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of large‐amplitude, parallel, electrostatic waves associated with magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause

Abstract We report observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites of large‐amplitude, parallel, electrostatic waves associated with magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause. The observed waves have parallel electric fields (E||) with amplitudes on the order of 100 mV/m and...
