Abstract: By combining three‐probe THEMIS observations and 3‐D Particle‐in‐Cell simulations, we identify key structures on the ion gyroradius scale that occur in connection with ballooning‐interchange instability heads in the Earth's magnetotail. The mesoscale structures occur at… read more here.

Abstract: Using an extended MHD model including the Hall effect and finite Larmor radius effect, we reproduce multiple dipolarization fronts (DFs) associated with the interchange instability in the braking region of bursty bulk flow in the… read more here.

Abstract: The dynamics at the edge of fusion confinement devices is driven by interchange instabilities and involves the motion of plasma across two regions—the “core region” and the scrape-off layer (SOL)—distinguished by whether field lines are,… read more here.
