Energy Repartition and Entropy Generation across the Earth’s Bow Shock: MMS Observations

The evolution of plasma entropy and the process of plasma energy redistribution at the collisionless plasma shock front are evaluated based on the high temporal resolution data from the four Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft during the crossing of the terrestrial bow shock. The ion distribution f...
