Kinetic and Shear Alfvén Waves in a Large Guide-field Reconnection at Earth's Magnetopause
A large guide-field (∼1.1 B _o ) reconnection X -line, observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft during an outbound magnetopause crossing, is studied for Alfvén waves. Here B _o is the reconnecting field magnitude. The current sheet thickness of the magnetopause was ∼2.6 ion inertial leng...
