Thick escaping magnetospheric ion layer in magnetopause reconnection with MMS observations

Abstract The structure of asymmetric magnetopause reconnection is explored with multiple point and high‐time‐resolution ion velocity distribution observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. On 9 September 2015, reconnection took place at the magnetopause, which separated the magnetoshea...
