Abstract
⺠A series of Kelvin-Helmholtz waves were recorded at Mercury's magnetopause. ⺠MESSENGER's rapid boundary traversal permits a spatial reconstruction of the waves. ⺠The derived geometry shows the internal, vortex-like structure of the magnetic field. ⺠Each vortex develops two gradual transition regions.
