“…For the applications to current four‐spacecraft missions (e.g., the European Space Agency's Cluster mission, Escoubet et al, 2001; and NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission, Burch et al, 2016), we combine the four‐point field measurements from the SC tetrahedron at two different times into one set of simultaneous eight‐point measurements and use Ampere's theorem and Maxwell's divergence equation, as shown below. The simplified form of the SOTE method, the linear method which ignores all the second‐order terms in Equation , has been widely used in analyzing and reconstructing the magnetic nulls for its convenience in calculation (Chen, Fu, Wang, Cao, et al, 2019; Chen, Fu, Wang, Liu, & Xu, 2019; Fu et al, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019; C. M. Liu, Chen, Wang, & Liu, 2019; C. M. Liu et al, 2018; Peng et al, 2017; Wang et al, 2019). Unfortunately, MHs will be proved to have nonlinear magnetic field topologies, and thus, linear method is not suitable here.…”
