Abstract:In this report we present spacecraft and ground-based observations of magnetosheath jets impacting the magnetosphere, both as a case study and a statistical study. In the case study, jets were detected in the magnetosheath by the Magnetospheric MultiScale mission, MMS. By utilizing a data-based magnetospheric model (Tsyganenko T96 [29]), we estimated which jets were likely to impact the magnetopause and where they would do so. We examined ground based magnetometers, GMAGs, at the expected foot-point to the aff… Show more
