“…Shock ripples and their importance for particle acceleration and for formation of downstream phenomena have been the subject of several works [i.e., Gedalin, 2001, Hao et al, 2016, Hietala et al, 2009, Yang et al, 2011, 2018. Rippling was observed at the Earth's bow-shock by several authors by using multi-spacecraft data from Cluster [Horbury et al, 2002, 2001, Lobzin et al, 2008, Moullard et al, 2006 and Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission [Gingell et al, 2017, Johlander et al, 2016. As for the IP shocks, several authors [i.e., Kajdič et al, 2017, Koval & Szabo, 2010, Pulupa & Bale, 2008, Russell & Alexander, 1984, Russell et al, 2000, Szabo, 2005 discussed and/or observed their non-planar structure at scales of several tens of Earth radii (R E ), but never at ion scales.…”
