(a) The profiles of the electron magnetic moment summed over the local region P / B along the separatrix in the first quadrant at Ω i 0 t = 26.5 . (b) The parallel electron flow velocity V along the separatrix in the first quadrant at Ω i 0 t = 26.5 . (c) The integration of parallel electric field force l 0 l eE d l (green solid line), magnetic mirror force l 0 l P B / ( n e B ) d l (red solid line), the sum l 0 l eE + P B / ( n e B ) d l (black dashed line), and the electron convective derivation l 0 l m e ( V · ) V d l (black solid line) along the separatrix in the first quadrant at Ω i 0 t = 26.5 . In the figure, the distance Ls is measured from the X line along the upper-right separatrix.
