Shift of the magnetopause reconnection line to the winter hemisphere under southward IMF conditions: Geotail and MMS observations

Abstract At 02:13 UT on 18 November 2015 when the geomagnetic dipole was tilted by −27°, the MMS spacecraft observed southward reconnection jets near the subsolar magnetopause under southward and dawnward interplanetary magnetic field conditions. Based on four‐spacecraft estimations of the magnetic...
