• Bursty bulk flows and dipolarization in MHD simulations of magnetotail reconnection (2011, background): “Nakamura et al., 2002], or even in initiating fast flows [e.g., Pritchett et al., 1997; Pritchett and Coroniti, 2000, 2010; Wu et al., 1998; Bhattacharjee et al., 1998a, 1998b; Cheng and Lui, 1998; Miura, 2001].”
• Recent advances in understanding substorm dynamics (2012, background): “…dBz/dX, have been shown to be favorable for growth of a number of plasma instabilities, such as ballooning/interchange [e.g., Raeder et al., 2010; Pritchett and Coroniti, 2010, 2011, and references therein], tearing [e.g., Sitnov and Schindler, 2010, and references therein], and MHD kink and…”
• On the current sheets surrounding dipolarizing flux bundles in the magnetotail: The case for wedgelets (2013, methodology): “This convex shape is likely related to the DFB’s interchange motion [e.g., Chen and Wolf, 1993] and has been supported by simulations [e.g., Guzdar et al., 2010; Pritchett and Coroniti, 2010].”
• A THEMIS multicase study of dipolarization fronts in the magnetotail plasma sheet (2011, background): “[34] The analysis of the dipolarization front orientation reveals large differences in front normal directions at probes separated azimuthally by ≈1 RE (Figures 3 and 4). Such a short correlation length may indicate that the edge of the energetic plasma intrusion is interchange unstable [Nakamura et”
• Dipolarization fronts as a consequence of transient reconnection: In situ evidence (2013, background): “Due to the strong interaction between the highspeed flow and the preexisting plasma, ballooning/interchange instability [e.g., Pritchett and Coroniti, 2010; Lu et al., 2013] is frequently reported at DFs in this scenario.”
