On the Nature and Origin of Bipolar Electrostatic Structures in the Earth's Bow Shock

We present a statistical analysis of large-amplitude bipolar electrostatic structures measured by Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft in the Earth's bow shock. The analysis is based on 371 large-amplitude bipolar structures collected in nine supercritical quasi-perpendicular Earth's bow s...
