High energy jets in the Earth's magnetosheath: Implications for plasma dynamics and anomalous transport

Lucek, E.; Khotyaintsev, Y.; Amata, E. +16 more

High energy density jets in the magnetosheath near the Earth magnetopause were observed by Interball-1 [1]. In this paper, we continue the investigation of this important physical phenomenon. New data provided by Cluster show that the magnetosheath kinetic energy density during more than one hour exhibits an average level and a series of peaks far…
