Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of magnetic reconnection associated with Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves

Abstract The four Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft recorded the first direct evidence of reconnection exhausts associated with Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) waves at the duskside magnetopause on 8 September 2015 which allows for local mass and energy transport across the flank magnetopause. Pressu...
