Solar wind velocity jumps across tangential discontinuities: ULYSSES observations and kinetic interpretation

Tsurutani, B. T.; Roth, M.; de Keyser, J. +2 more

Some tangential discontinuities (TDs) observed by the Ulysses spacecraft interface solar wind regions that differ only in their bulk velocity and magnetic field orientation; composition, density, temperature and magnetic field intensity are essentially the same in both regions. The relation between the plasma velocity jump across the TD and the ma…
