The Dawn‐Dusk Asymmetry of the Interaction Between Dipolarizing Flux Bundles and the Ambient Plasma: Implications for Asymmetric Wedgelets
Abstract The substorm current wedge (SCW), the characteristic current system of Earth's substorms, has been suggested to be a collective effect of many “wedgelets,” mesoscale currents carried by magnetotail flux tubes of strong magnetic fields called dipolarizing flux bundles (DFBs). Each wedge...
