Solar Orbiter observations on 23 July 2020 between 20:10 UT and 21:50 UT. (a) Magnetic field in the RTN coordinates. (b) Ion bulk velocity VR component. (c) Ion bulk velocity VT and VN components. (d) Alfvén speed |VA| and Alfvén velocity components (VA, R, VA, T, VA, N). (e) Ion number density. (f) Plasma pressure Pp, magnetic pressure Pm, and total pressure Ptot. (g) Plasma beta β. The KH waves can be noticed between 20:45 and 21:30 UT. The vertical gray dashed lines (1)–(7) mark the boundary layer crossings corresponding to KH trailing edges. The magenta dashed-dotted lines mark times when the plasma parameters reach asymptotic values on Side 1 (20:38 UT) and Side 2 (21:29 UT) of the shear layer.
