Magnetotail Ion Structuring by Kinetic Ballooning‐Interchange Instability

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 sites of strong ion velo...
