Plasma turbulence: Challenges and next transformative steps from the perspective of multi-spacecraft measurements
We recommend to bring into reality the following within the next decade: 1. Measurements from multiple spacecraft covering a 3D volume and simultaneously spanning the MHD to kinetic scales (such as HelioSwarm). 2. Coordination of the new multi-scale mission(s) with existing multi-spacecraft missions such as MMS to maximize the power of cross-scale ion and electron measurements.
