| Abstract: | The effect of finite ion Larmor radius on the Kelvin-Hehnholtz instability of the Earth's magnetopause is theoretically investigated when a wave vector is perpendicular to a magnetic field. It is found that a dawn-dusk asymmetry in excited waves is caused by this effect. This result is discussed in comparison with satellite observations. |
