Localized density enhancements in the magnetosheath: Three‐dimensional morphology and possible importance for impulsive penetration

We use Cluster multipoint density measurements, using the spacecraft potential, to identify localized density enhancements (>50%) in the magnetosheath, and estimate their three-dimensional morph ...
