The Apparent Layered Structure of the Heliospheric Current Sheet: Multi-Spacecraft Observations

Sauvaud, J. -A.; Luhmann, J. G.; Lavraud, B. +9 more

Multiple current sheet crossings are ubiquitous features of the solar wind associated with high-beta plasma sheets, notably during the passage of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS). As the HCS is being convected past near-Earth, we attempt to resolve spatial scales and temporal variations of the apparent layered structure of the HCS, including a…
