Default new type of vortex in the Earth's magnetosphere

Cluster makes turbulent breakthrough (Aug 10)
http://physicsweb.org/article/news/9/8/7

A team of European scientists has discovered a new type of vortex in the
Earth's magnetosphere. The drift-kinetic Alfvén vortices seen by the
team measure tens of kilometres across and were discovered in data from
the Cluster mission. Last year another group discovered Kelvin-Helmholtz
vortices, which are several thousands of kilometres across, in data from
the same mission. The results could help shed more light on the effects
of turbulence in both space and laboratory plasmas (Nature 436 825).

I have some magnetic vortices
in mind that'll twist yer
