Ion‐Scale Wave Properties and Enhanced Ion Heating Across the Low‐Latitude Boundary Layer During Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability

In the Earth's magnetosphere, the magnetotail plasma sheet ions are much hotter than in the shocked solar wind. On the dawn sector, the cold‐component ions are more abundant and hotter by 30–40% when compared to the dusk sector. Recent statistical studies of the flank magnetopause and magnetosh...
