DOI: 10.1002/2016ja023729
Abstract: The magnetosheath contains an array of waves, instabilities, and nonlinear magnetic structures which modify global plasma properties by means of various wave-particle interactions. The present work demonstrates that ion-scale magnetic field structures (∼0.2–0.5 Hz) observed in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2024gl113340
Abstract: The Martian magnetic pile‐up boundary (MPB) delineates the interface between the magnetosheath and the induced magnetosphere, but its global ion‐scale characteristics remaining unclear. Utilizing a three‐dimensional Hall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model, this study aims to reveal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0241525
Abstract: A subgrid electron–temperature–gradient (ETG) model is demonstrated here which averages local electron-scale turbulence over intermediate scales in space and time to include in global ion–temperature–gradient (ITG) simulations. This approach results in ion-scale equations, which incorporate… read more here.
