IMP 8 bow shock crossings

A complete list of bow shock crossings observed by IMP 8 spacecraft. The shock crossings were manually identified in magnetic field and/or thermal plasma measurements. Upstream parameters are as measured by IMP 8 on the solar wind side of the shock, typically over a few-minute interval judged by the IMP field and plasma teams as stable. For multiple-shock records, all upstream parameters are for the first shock crossing. Downstream parameters are as measured by IMP 8 on the magnetosheath side of the shock, typically over a few-minute interval. For multiple-shock records, all downstream parameters are for the first shock crossing if possible.
