Dawn-dusk asymmetries and sub-Alfvénic flow in the high and low latitude magnetosheath

We present the results of a statistical survey of the magnetosheath using four years of Cluster orbital coverage. Moments of the plasma distribution obtained from the electron and ion instruments together with magnetic field data are used to characterise the flow and density in the magnetosheath....
