摘 要:In this letter, we report observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission of large-scale parallel electric fields in a magnetosheath reconnecting current sheet. The four MMS satellites successively crossed an electron jet embedded in a broad current sheet, and detected a unipolar parallel electric field being co-located with the jet.
