Abstract

Editorial: The Role of Turbulence in the Solar Wind, Magnetosphere, Ionosphere Dynamics

Highlights

  • This Research Topic is dedicated to one of the most intriguing and least understood phenomena of space plasma physics: nearly collisionless turbulence

  • Ness et al (1964) analyzed the magnetic field measurements made by the IMP 1 satellite and reported the existence of the region of turbulence between the magnetopause and the bow shock known as the magnetosheath

  • Klimchuk and Antiochos argue that in the closed corona of the Sun the ubiquitous current sheets arise from the quasi-static twisting of flux tubes rather than from the action of dynamic turbulence
