Measure of the intermittency on all 4 Cluster satellites
Date: 24 March 2009 Satellite: Cluster Depicts: A measure of intermittency, a property of turbulence Copyright: ESA Show in archive: false
Yordovana et al., used multi-spacecraft observations to characterize the evolution of magnetosheath turbulence. They showed that one property of the turbulence, the intermittency, significantly changes over distance. The figure above shows the measure of the intermittency which further deviates from the fully developed solar wind turbulence the further a spacecraft is located away from the bow shock.
