The Evolution of Parallel Electron Temperature in Magnetospheric Reconnection Inflows

Abstract Using data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale mission captured in a reconnection inflow on the magnetospheric side of Earth's dayside magnetopause, we find a region where the heat flux density gradient term balances the parallel compression term in the electron parallel tempera...
