THEMIS Observations of Particle Acceleration by a Magnetosheath Jet‐Driven Bow Wave

Abstract Localized magnetosheath jets with high dynamic pressure are frequently observed downstream of Earth's bow shock. When such a fast magnetosheath jet compresses the ambient magnetosheath plasma, an earthward compressional bow wave could form. Such bow waves have been predicted by simulat...
