Figure 1.

Example interplanetary shock crossings observed by the Wind spacecraft illustrating the two-letter code morphology. For each event there are two panels showing (top) |Bo| (nT, ~11 —22 sps) and (bottom) the GSE components of Bo (nT, ~11 −22 sps). The vector component color code legend Is shown in the upper left-hand example. In each event, we also show the following upstream shock parameters and associated uncertainties: shock normal angle, θBn (deg); fast mode Mach number, 〈Mf〉up; Alfvénic Mach number, 〈MA〉up; and plasma beta, 〈β〉up.
