Snapshot sequence of dynamic evolution of a reconnecting current layer with recurring plasmoid formation is shown with color contours of the out-of-plane current density J_y and arrows showing difference in the in-plane flow between charges and neutrals (v_c − v_n)_xz plotted over a colormap of the mass density of charges. The snapshot window is illustrated in the t = 534.5 s panels of Fig. 1 and has coordinates (x, z)∈[−0.4 Mm,  0.1 Mm]×[−1.4 Mm,   − 0.7 Mm]. An arrow with length of 50 km corresponds to a speed difference of |(v_c − v_n)_xz|=128 m s⁻¹.
