摘要

Collisionless astrophysical plasmas exhibit complexityrnon many scales: if we are to understand their propertiesrnand effects, we must measure this complexity. We canrnidentify a small number of processes and phenomena,rnone of which is dominant in almost every space plasmarnregion of interest: shocks, reconnection and turbulence.rnThese processes act to transfer energy betweenrnlocations, scales and modes. However, this transfer isrncharacterised by variability and 3D structure on at leastrnthree scales: electron kinetic, ion kinetic and fluid. It isrnthe nonlinear interaction between physical processes atrnthese scales that is the key to understanding thesernphenomena and predicting their effects. However,rncurrent and planned multi-spacecraft missions such asrnCluster and MMS only study variations on one scale inrn3D at any given time - we must measure the three scalesrnsimultaneously fully to understand the energy transferrnprocesses. We propose a mission, called Cross-Scale, tornstudy these processes. Cross-Scale would comprisernthree nested groups, each consisting of up to fourrnspacecraft. Each group would have a differentrnspacecraft separation, at approximately the electron andrnion gyroradii, and a larger MHD scale. We wouldrntherefore be able to measure variations on all threernimportant physical scales, simultaneously, for the firstrntime. The spacecraft would fly in formation through keyrnregions of near-Earth space: the solar wind, bowshock,rnmagnetosheath, magnetopause and magnetotail.
