a Total electron enthalpy flux from MMS2 and (b) the enthalpy flux excluding the drift contribution, where the L, M, N contributions in panels a, b are colored blue, green, and red, respectively. Contributions to the (c) L and (d) N components of Poynting flux, where the terms in green represent contributions by in-plane electric fields and the guide field, and the terms in red represent contributions from the reconnecting magnetic field components and the reconnection electric field.
