The effects of turbulence on three‐dimensional magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause

Abstract Two‐ and three‐dimensional particle‐in‐cell simulations of a recent encounter of the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) with an electron diffusion region at the magnetopause are presented. While the two‐dimensional simulation is laminar, turbulence develops at both the X line and along...
