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

Jets in Planetary Magnetosheath
, 2023 Abstract The study of jets in the Earth's magnetosheath has been a subject of extensive investigation for over a decade due to their profound impact on the geomagnetic environment and their close connection with shock dynamics. While the variability of the solar wind and its interaction with Earth's magnetosphere provide valuable insights into ...

Magnetosheath waves under very low solar wind dynamic pressure: Wind/Geotail observations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2005 The expanded bow shock on and around "the day the solar wind almost disappeared" (11 May 1999) allowed the Geotail spacecraft to make a practically uninterrupted 54-h-long magnetosheath pass near dusk (16:30-21:11 magnetic local time) at a radial ...

Energetic Electron Pitch-angle Distributions in the Martian Space Environment: Pancake
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We perform a statistical investigation of the occurrence rates of energetic electron (100–500 eV) pancake pitch-angle distributions (PADs) in the Martian space environment by utilizing 6 yr of MAVEN data. In the Martian ionosphere, we find the following:

Geoeffectiveness of Magnetosheath Jets
, 2020 <p>The study on high speed plasma flows in the Earth&#8217;s magnetosheath, or commonly known as jets, has been a popular topic for discussion in recent decades. These jets can often be characterised by increases in the dynamic pressure compared to the background plasma.

Cluster observations of bounday layer structure and a flux transfer event near the cusp [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2005 On the 25th January 2002 between 10:00 and 12:00 UT, the four Cluster spacecraft passed through the northern high-latitude cusp, the dayside magnetosphere and into the magnetosheath in a linear formation.

Honeycomb‐Like Magnetosheath Structure Formed by Jets: Three‐Dimensional Global Hybrid Simulations
Geophysical Research LettersMagnetosheath jets with enhanced dynamic pressure are common in the Earth's magnetosheath. They can impact the magnetopause, causing deformation of the magnetopause. Here we investigate the 3‐D structure of magnetosheath jets using a realistic‐scale, 3‐D
