Anisotropy evolution of magnetic field fluctuation through the bow shock

Glassmeier, K. -H.; Narita, Y.

Measurement of energy distributions in the wave vector domain reveals how anisotropy of turbulent magnetic field fluctuations evolves as the solar wind encounters the terrestrial bow shock and the magnetosphere. While fluctuations in the solar wind, the magnetosheath, and the magnetospheric cusp regions are characterized by the perpendicular wave …
