AB - <jats:p>We exploit novel “string-of-pearls” configuration of NASA’sMagnetospheric Multiscale mission to investigate properties ofstructures within the Earth’s magnetosheath that are short in durationbut carry intense currents. Previous work has shown that the j.E energyconversion within current structures processes of order 10% of thetotal energy flux incident at the bow shock. This makes these eventsimportant contributors to the overall shock energy budget and ongoingthermalization within the magnetosheath. The present study, under verysimilar solar wind conditions and bow shock geometries, revealssignificant qualitative differences from the previous study. Moreover,we find only modest, if any coherence, on scales <1000 km. Weexplore the implication of these observations in terms of both bow shockand turbulence energy transfer and dissipation.</jats:p>
