Resumen:
Our theory of the compressible Kelvin-Helmholtz instability for configurations with magnetic shear and density and temperature jumps across a velocity discontinuity is applied to study the stability in typical cases at the terrestrial magnetopause. It is shown that the inclusion of compressibility effects shows that the incompressible theory is not reliable in these cases.
