Figure 9.

Fields and plasma moments in the vicinity of a possible reconnection inflow crossing in LMN coordinates as observed by MMS 1: (a) magnetic field magnitude, |B|, (b) magnetic field components, (c) ion velocity components, (d) electron velocity components, (e) electric field components in the spacecraft's frame of reference, (f) corrected electric field components in the current sheet's frame of reference, and (g) Alfvén velocity. The normalized reconnection rate is estimated from the fields and plasma signatures in the purple‐shaded region.
