Statistical Properties of the Distribution and Generation of Kinetic‐Scale Flux Ropes in the Terrestrial Dayside Magnetosheath

Abstract The generation of kinetic‐scale flux ropes (KSFRs) is closely related to magnetic reconnection. Both flux ropes and reconnection sites are detected in the magnetosheath and can impact the dynamics upstream of the magnetopause. In this study, using the Magnetospheric Multiscale satellite, 12...
