Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission observations and non‐force free modeling of a flux transfer event immersed in a super‐Alfvénic flow

Abstract We analyze plasma, magnetic field, and electric field data for a flux transfer event (FTE) to highlight improvements in our understanding of these transient reconnection signatures resulting from high‐resolution data. The ∼20 s long, reverse FTE, which occurred south of the geomagnetic equa...
