On the Importance of the Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability on Magnetospheric and Solar Wind Dynamics During High Magnetic Shear
Abstract The secondary processes driven by the velocity shear driven Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability (KHI) in the magnetized plasmas have been shown to be important in producing plasma transport and heating from the shocked solar wind into the Earth's magnetosphere (MSP). The plasma transport into...
