摘要: This study presents INTERBALL-1, and MAGION-4 observations of transient ion flux variations in the magnetosheath which cannot be related to similar changes solar wind observed by WIND GEOTAIL. The duration events varies from tens seconds a few minutes their amplitude can exceed background levels factor 2 or more. We use closely-spaced INTERBALL-1 satellites estimate that spatial dimensions are on order ∼ 1RE. interaction foreshock discontinuities with bow shock is identified as possible source these events.
