This project aims to understand plasma jet events that occur during northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions. Northward IMF jet events are far less studied than their southern counterparts. The study uses data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, a constellation of four spacecraft that study magnetic reconnection at Earth's magnetosphere boundary.
