Density Fluctuation–Mach Number Scaling in Compressible, High Plasma Beta Turbulence: In Situ Space Observations and High-Reynolds Number Simulations
Density Fluctuation–Mach Number Scaling in Compressible, High Plasma Beta Turbulence: In Situ Space Observations and High-Reynolds Number Simulations

We compare in situ space observations of Earth's magnetosheath with high resolution data showing that the density fluctuations follow a linear relation with Mach number in both.
