In‐situ spacecraft missions are powerful assets to study processes that occur in space plasmas. One of their main limitations, however, is extrapolating such local measurements to the global scales of the system. To overcome this problem at least partially, multi‐point measurements can be used. There are several multi‐spacecraft missions currently operating in the Earth's magnetosphere, and the simultaneous use of the data collected by them provides new insights into the large‐scale properties…

Extended magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause from detection of bi-directional jets

In situ two-spacecraft observations of bi-directional jets at the magnetopause find evidence for a stable and extended reconnection line, and conclude that reconnection is determined by large-scale interactions between the solar wind and the magnetosphere, rather than by local conditions at the Magnetopause.
