Abstract: Pritchett and Coroniti (2011, https://doi.org/10.1029/2011GL047527, 2013, https://doi.org/10.1029/2012JA018143) have predicted that the kinetic ballooning/interchange instability (BICI) can provoke reconnection onsets that lead to detached azimuthally thin earthward intrusions (heads) of depleted plasma tubes when βeq⩽ 100.… read more here.
