Observations of a reconnecting current sheet. Panels a,b: magnetic field and ion velocity in SRF. Panel c: E_y and −(v_HT × B)_y with v_HT from PAS (blue) and RPW (red). Panels d,e: ion density and temperature from PAS. Panel f: magnetic field in LMN coordinates at the reconnection jet. Panel g: observed (black, blue, red) and predicted (green, cyan, orange) plasma velocities in LMN coordinates. The green and magenta dashed horizontal bars highlight where B_L and V_L are correlated and anti-correlated, respectively. Panel h: simplified sketch of the reconnection event illustrating the expected correlation and anti-correlation between B_L and V_L.
