Ion Larmor radius effects near a reconnection X line at the magnetopause: THEMIS observations and simulation comparison

Abstract We report a Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS‐D) spacecraft crossing of a magnetopause reconnection exhaust ~9 ion skin depths (di) downstream of an X line. The crossing was characterized by ion jetting at speeds substantially below the predicted re...
