Using double adiabatic anisotropic fluid equations, we show that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability across a broad velocity shear zone, characteristic of the magnetopause boundary layer, has a typical non-local signature. While the pressure, density and magnetic field parameters peak in the interior of the shear zone, the velocity fluctuations are larger at the inner edge of the boundary layer. We use these characteristics of the spatial structure of the Kelvin-Helmholz instability to identify, from the multi-satellite cluster satellite observations, the oscillations driven by the instability.
