The predicted reconnection electric field normalized by the side 1 (magnetosheath) conditions is plotted as a function of Bx1 /Bx2 with a (a) symmetric density and as a function of n1 /n2 with a (b) symmetric reconnecting magnetic field. The prediction is shown in solid back, the prediction of equation (1) in red, and the prediction without the outflow correction in dashed black.
