Turbulence, Waves, and Magnetic Reconnection from Magnetohydrodynamic to Kinetic Scales

Session ID#: 74889

Session Description:
Space plasma fluctuations cover a very broad range of scales, from global heliospheric scales down to the ion and electron gyroradii. Current measurements, including the MMS and PSP missions, bring attention to the important role that waves and turbulence play in plasma dynamics and thermodynamics, including solar wind heating, particle acceleration, and heat conduction. It is also becoming clear that magnetic reconnection is a characteristic feature of plasma dynamics at all scales where turbulence is present. Recent studies strongly suggest that these phenomena are interrelated: turbulence induces events of spontaneous reconnection, which, in turn, modify turbulent energy cascades and energy dissipation at the corresponding scales. This session will elucidate the interplay among space plasma turbulence, waves, and magnetic reconnection. It welcomes contributions from observational, analytical and numerical studies of plasma in various environments, from the solar corona to the solar wind to the earth magnetosheath and magnetosphere.
