Solar Orbiter observations between 16:00 UT on 23 July 2020 and 6:00 UT on 24 July 2020 showing the context of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability observation (shaded area). (a) Magnetic fields in the RTN coordinates. (b) Ion bulk velocity VR component. (c) Ion bulk velocity VT and VN components. (d) Ion number density. (e) Alfvén Mach number. (f) Normalized cross-helicity. (g) The angle between δV and B (see text). The heliospheric current sheet (HCS) is observed between 22:00 UT on 23 July 2020 and 2:00 UT on 24 July 2020, marked by purple dotted lines. The Magnetic Increase with Central Current Sheet (MICCS) is observed between 17:35 and 18:08 UT on 23 July 2020, marked by orange dotted lines.
