Overview

Randomized trial investigates KHI stability based on dipole tilt and solar wind properties, suggesting seasonal variability.

Key Points

  • This research aims to analyze how the relative orientation of Earth's magnetic dipole and the interplanetary magnetic field affects the stability of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities.
  • Examined KHI stability related to Earth's dipole field orientation and IMF using a theoretical model.
  • Considered effects of seasonal changes on the magnetopause boundary.
  • Utilized a parabolic magnetopause geometry and model of solar wind.
  • KHI occurrence varies with the alignment of Earth's magnetic dipole; enhanced under specific conditions.
  • Seasonal variability influences KHI instability, indicating possible biases in activity rates.
  • Asymmetries in KHI occurrence were observed based on dipole orientation relative to solar wind properties.
