Observations of large‐amplitude, parallel, electrostatic waves associated with the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability by the magnetospheric multiscale mission

Abstract On 8 September 2015, the four Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft encountered a Kelvin‐Helmholtz unstable magnetopause near the dusk flank. The spacecraft observed periodic compressed current sheets, between which the plasma was turbulent. We present observations of large‐amplitude (up to...
