Kelvin–Helmholtz vortices at the magnetopause during northward IMF: multi-satellite observations of energy transport and plasma redistribution

The Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability is a fundamental plasma process in many astrophysical environments; its vortices facilitate solar wind energy transport and plasma mixing. We investigate the energy flux density distribution and fluctuations of a typical KH vortex event obser...
