Kinetic-scale magnetic holes(KSMHs)are structures characterized by a significant magnetic depression with a length scale on the order of the proton *** structures have been investigated in recent studies in near-Earth space,and found to be closely related to energy conversion and particle acceleration,wave-particle interactions,magnetic reconnection,and turbulence at the ***,there are still several major issues of the KSMHs that need further study—including(a)the source of these structures(locally generated in near-Earth space,or carried by the solar wind),(b)the environmental conditions leading to their generation,and(c)their spatio-temporal *** this study,KSMHs in near-Earth space are investigated statistically using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale *** 200,000 events were observed from September 2015 to March *** rates of such structures in the solar wind,magnetosheath,and magnetotail were *** find that KSMHs occur in the magnetosheath at rates far above their occurrence in the solar *** indicates that most of the structures are generated locally in the magnetosheath,rather than advected with the solar ***,KSMHs occur in the downstream region of the quasi-parallel shock at rates significantly higher than in the downstream region of the quasi-perpendicular shock,indicating a relationship with the turbulent plasma *** to the magnetopause,we find that the depths of KSMHs decrease as their temporal-scale *** also find that the spatial-scales of the KSMHs near the subsolar magnetosheath are smaller than those in the ***,their global distribution shows a significant dawn-dusk asymmetry(duskside dominating)in the magnetotail.
