Drift waves, intense parallel electric fields, and turbulence associated with asymmetric magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause

Abstract Observations of magnetic reconnection at Earth's magnetopause often display asymmetric structures that are accompanied by strong magnetic field (B) fluctuations and large‐amplitude parallel electric fields (E||). The B turbulence is most intense at frequencies above the ion cyclotron f...
