Themis E observed a perpendicular (to the magnetic field) electric field associated with an Earthward plasma flow at X GSM =−9.6 R E on 11 January 2008. The electric field observation resembles Cluster observations closer to Earth in the auroral region. The fast plasma flow shared some characteristi...
