Physics of Magnetopause Reconnection: A Study of the Combined Effects of Density Asymmetry, Velocity Shear, and Guide Field
Figure 14
Two-dimensional contours of (a) density and (b) out-of-plane magnetic field for the low mass ratio/larger simulation box case. The peculiar features in density and in seen in the upward-directed jet are not local to the -line but are extended away from it.
