“…Several competing mechanisms have been suggested for ion-scale dissipation: e.g., stochastic heating [42], Landau damping [13,17,76,77], and cyclotron resonance [10,16,18]. Correlations between signatures of the transition range and parameters associated with stochastic heating were not found [42,63]. Measurements of 3D ion distributions will enable comparison of damping rates associated with, e.g., Landau and cyclotron resonance, with our observed dissipation rates [1,8,[10][11][12][13][14]17,18,76,82,83].…”
