Turbulent Energy Conversion Associated With Kinetic Microinstabilities in Earth's Magnetosheath

Turbulent Energy Conversion Associated With Kinetic Microinstabilities in Earth's Magnetosheath

Abstract Plasma in Earth's magnetosheath rarely experiences interparticle collisions, so kinetic microinstabilities are thought to contribute to regulating the plasma thermodynamics. Instabilities excite waves and redistribute free energy in velocity space, reducing free energy in the velocity...
