3D sketch of the observed HCS reconnection exhausts at Earth’s orbit, including an illustration of the current sheet folding in interplanetary space. The exhaust separatrices in gray and the spacecraft path through the folded HCS are adjusted to the current sheet N_GSE and M_GSE directions. The planar exhaust regions in yellow are aligned with the L_GSE direction. The “Jet ﹩| | \pm \bar{{L}}﹩” labels refer to exhaust jets in the ±L direction.
