This study suggests that Kelvin-Helmholtz waves can be a somewhat common, and possibly constant, instrument for the entrance of solar wind into terrestrial magnetospheres under various IMF orientations.

The research characterized variances in formation of the interplanetary magnetic field ( IMF ) largely influenced by Kelvin-Helmholtz waves ( which occur at the interface of two fluids ) as a result of differences in thickness and numerous other characteristics of the boundary layer.

Experts believe that this was the first occasion that the appearance of Kelvin-Helmholtz waves at the magnetopause had been displayed at high latitude dawnward orientation of the IMF . These waves are being seen in unforeseen places under solar wind conditions that were formerly believed to be undesired for their generation.
