TY  - JOUR
AB  - Collisionless shock nonstationarity arising from microscale physics influences shock structure andparticle acceleration mechanisms. Nonstationarity has been difficult to quantify due to the small spatial andtemporal scales. We use the closely spaced (subgyroscale), high-time-resolution measurements from onerapid crossing of Earth’s quasiperpendicular bow shock by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)spacecraft to compare competing nonstationarity processes. Using MMS’s high-cadence kinetic plasmameasurements, we show that the shock exhibits nonstationarity in the form of ripples.
