Scientific paper

A model of three uniform plasma regions is used to investigate the effects of the orientations of the magnetic field, the wave vector, and the velocity on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the low-latitude magnetopause/boundary layer region. Conditions for obtaining the most unstable waves are identified. Due to the use of a layered model, there is no upper cut-off wavenumber in the low-latitude magnetopause/boundary layer. Compressibility is not found to alter the orientation effects on the instability.
