Convective high-speed flow and field-aligned high-speed flows explored by TC-1
Dunlop, M. W.; Baumjohann, W.; Carr, C. +6 more
From June 1, 2004 to October 31, 2006, a total 465 high-speed flow events are observed by the TC-1 satellite in the near-Earth region (-13 RE < x < -9 RE, |Y|<10 RE, |Z|<5 RE). Based on the angle between the flow and the magnetic field, the high-speed flow events are further divided into two types, that is, field-aligned high-speed flo…
Structures of magnetic null points in reconnection diffusion region: Cluster observations
Baumjohann, W.; Carr, C. M.; Zhang, Hui +10 more
Magnetic reconnection is a very important and fundamental plasma process in transferring energy from magnetic field into plasma. Previous theory, numerical simulations and observations mostly concentrate on 2-dimensional (2D) model; however, magnetic reconnection is a 3-dimensional (3D) nonlinear process in nature. The properties of reconnection i…
