Kinetic evidence of magnetic reconnection due to Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves

Kinetic evidence of magnetic reconnection due to Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves

Abstract The Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) instability at the Earth's magnetopause is predominantly excited during northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Magnetic reconnection due to KH waves has been suggested as one of the mechanisms to transfer solar wind plasma into the magnetosphere. We in...
