摘要: [1] Knowledge of multidimensional correlation functions is crucial for understanding the anisotropy turbulence. The two-dimensional (2-D) spatial (SCFs) obtained in previous studies space plasma turbulence were restricted to large-length scales and covered a limited angular domain two-point separation vector with respect mean magnetic field. Here we aim derive 2-D SCFs smaller-length scale nearly full distribution fluctuations number density field magnetosheath We use Cluster four-spacecraft measurements temporally spatially varying background construct SCFs. find that function shows pattern similar fluctuations, both which appear be composed two populations, whereby major population extends along coordinate parallel (S∥) minor one deviates toward perpendicular (S⊥). This implies energy seems cascade, inertial range close ion scale, mostly transverse meanwhile partly (i.e., k⊥ ≫ k∥).
