Impact of Foreshock Transients on the Flank Magnetopause and Magnetosphere and the Ionosphere
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Mesoscale (on the scales of a few minutes and a few RE) magnetosheath and magnetopause perturbations driven by foreshock transients have been observed in the flank magnetotail.

Rotation of the magnetic field in Earth's magnetosheath by bulk magnetosheath plasma flow [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2006 Abstract. Orientations of the observed magnetic field in Earth's dayside magnetosheath are compared with the predicted field line-draping pattern from the Kobel and Flückiger static magnetic field model. A rotation of the overall magnetosheath draping pattern with respect to the model prediction is observed. For an earthward Parker spiral, the sense of

Magnetosheath jet properties and evolution as determined by a global hybrid-Vlasov simulation [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2018 We use a global hybrid-Vlasov simulation for the magnetosphere, Vlasiator, to investigate magnetosheath high-speed jets. Unlike many other hybrid-kinetic simulations, Vlasiator includes an unscaled geomagnetic dipole, indicating that the simulation ...

Magnetosheath jet evolution as a function of lifetime: global hybrid-Vlasov simulations compared to MMS observations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2021 Magnetosheath jets are regions of high dynamic pressure, which can traverse from the bow shock towards the magnetopause. Recent modelling efforts, limited to a single jet and a single set of upstream conditions, have provided the first estimations about ...

Interball-1 observations of flux transfer events [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 We present the results of a survey of 807 FTEs observed by Interball-1 on the mid- and high-latitude dayside and flank magnetopause. Dayside magnetosheath events show a strong tendency to occur for southward magnetosheath magnetic fields suggesting ...

Nature of Electrostatic Fluctuations in the Terrestrial Magnetosheath [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract The high cadence plasma, electric, and magnetic field measurements by the Magnetospheric MultiScale spacecraft allow us to explore the near-Earth space plasma with an unprecedented time and spatial resolution, resolving electron-scale structures that naturally emerge from plasma complex dynamics.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Introduction: During recent years magnetosheath plasma structures called “jets” are identified in spacecraft data as localized regions in the magnetosheath where the dynamic pressure is enhanced compared to the background.

Solar wind reconstruction from magnetosheath data using an adjoint approach [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2015 We present a new method to reconstruct solar wind conditions from spacecraft data taken during magnetosheath passages, which can be used to support, e.g., magnetospheric models.

A model of the magnetosheath magnetic field during magnetic clouds [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2014 Magnetic clouds (MCs) are huge interplanetary structures which originate from the Sun and have a paramount importance in driving magnetospheric storms. Before reaching the magnetosphere, MCs interact with the Earth's bow shock.

On the Magnetic Field Configuration of the Magnetosheath
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013 The magnetosheath is the region where the shocked solar wind interacts directly with the magnetosphere. Here we examine the magnetic field throughout the equatorial magnetosheath as a function of the solar wind IMF direction using observational data sets
