Initial idea of the shock front structure: dispersion versus nonlinearity in the presence of the weak dissipation
Precursors in sub-critical shocks and early models (Sagdeev, 1961, 1964)
The structure is formed as a result of counter-balance between
nonlinearity and dispersion in the presence of the weak dissipation

As supposed for subcritical shocks

ISEE and simulations: supercritical quasi-perpendicular shocks: the dissipation is due to reflected ions
How does it change the role of the dispersion and nonlinearity?

Phase velocity dependence of oblique fast magnetosonic (whistler) waves upon the wavenumber
If shock structure is similar to dispersive nonlinear waves then

Above Mnw shock nonlinear steepening of waves can not bestopped anymore by dispersion and/or dissipation and
becomes non-stationary

Appeal to experimental data of multi-point measurements: Cluster
What are the right questions to answer making use of the data?
• Does the front steepen with the growth of the Mach number till the scales comparable with electron inertial length?
• What are the characteristic scales of fine structure of the shock front?
• What are the sources of waves observed upstream of the ramp?
• Can we observe direct manifestations of the overturning and reformation?
![Page 22: Scales at High Mach Number Quasiperpendicular Shocks and Problem of Electron Heating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812f90550346895d950d8b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The answer can be found analysing scales and energy fluxes.
What is the scale of the major transition?
Is the region of strongest gradient determined by the dispersion – nonlinearity effects?
Dispersive model:
precursor and ramp transition are determined by dispersion-nonlinearity and scales as several c/ωpe
(electron inertial length)

• The heating can be super-adiabatic as well as sub-adiabatic
• Parallel and perpendicular temperatures grow on the same time scale
• The process is determined by the presence of the small scale electric field bursts
