Comparison of Magnetospheric Multiscale ion jet signatures with predicted reconnection site locations at the magnetopause

Abstract Magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause is the primary process by which solar wind plasma and energy gains access to the magnetosphere. One indication that magnetic reconnection is occurring is the observation of accelerated plasma as a jet tangential to the magnetopause. The...
