MMS observations of oblique small‐scale magnetopause flux ropes near the ion diffusion region during weak guide‐field reconnection
Abstract We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of a series of five small‐scale magnetic flux ropes (FR1–5) embedded in the southward reconnection outflow during a magnetopause reconnection event with a small guide field (~2.2 nT). These small‐scale flux ropes (diameter ~3–11 ion inertial...
