The Kelvin Helmholtz Instability can drive waves at the magnetopause. These waves can grow to form rolled up vortices and facilitate transfer of plasma into the magnetosphere. We use single spacecraft measurements from the Double Star one spacecraft to identify rolled up vortices and present their local time distribution. This work is being carried out as part of an International Space Science Institute (ISSI) working group examining multi-spacecraft conjunctions and their utility in examining the behaviour of the dayside magnetopause and flanks under various driving conditions.
