ISTP Solar Wind Catalog Candidate Events includes Candidate Events for Further Study Candidate events are listed in chronological order; the category columns lists the event types as defined above. The s/c column identifies the spacecraft (W=WIND, 8=IMP-8) that observed the particular feature, while the Comments column includes particular
This column lists the event types Specific catalog categories: interplanetary magnetic clouds miscellaneous features in the SW interactive regions in the SW intervals of IMF Bz northward interplanetary shocks intervals of IMF Bz southward low speed stream intervals in the SW changes in the direction of the Ey component of the electric field magnetic field sector boundary crossings SW high speed streams (mostly related to solar magnetic coronal holes.
