Extended magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause from detection of bi-directional jets

Article Abstract:

Magnetic reconnection is the dominant process of solar wind entry when the solar wind magnetic field is persistently southward. Reconnection is determined by large-scale interactions between the solar wind and the magnetosphere.

Transport of solar wind into Earth's magnetosphere through rolled-up Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices

Article Abstract:

There is solar-wind transport mechanism associated with the nonlinear phase of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability during northward solar-wind magnetic field conditions in the absence of active reconnection at low latitudes. This can supply plasma sources for various space weather phenomena.

A magnetic reconnection X-line extending more than 390 Earth radii in the solar wind

Article Abstract:

Small scale flux ropes and flow channels associated with reconnection in the Earth's magnetosphere raise the possibility that reconnection is intrinsically patchy, with each reconnection X-line (the line along which oppositely directed magnetic field lines reconnect) extending at most a few Earth radii, even though the associated current sheets span many tens or hundred of R. Observations reveal that reconnection can operate in a quasi-steady-state manner even when undriven by external flow.
