Kelvin–Helmholtz vortices in the magnetopause boundary layer associated with auroral beads: conjunction observations from MMS and DMSP
Bruce T. Tsurutani
We report a Kelvin–Helmholtz vortex (KHV) event observed at the duskside magnetopause boundary layer by the magnetospheric multiscale (MMS) satellites in conjunction with auroral beads detected in the high-latitude ionosphere by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) on 27 September 2016. During the KHV event, the MMS spacecraft were located in the low-latitude boundary layer and were magnetically mapped to an auroral region adjacent to the DMSP observation footprint. The MMS data r
