MAVEN observations of partially developed Kelvin‐Helmholtz vortices at Mars

Abstract We present preliminary results and interpretations for Mars Atmospheric and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) observations of magnetosheath‐ionospheric boundary oscillations at Mars. Using centrifugal force arguments, we first predict that a signature of fully rolled up Kelvin‐Helmholtz vortices a...
