Event Categories
The categories used in this catalog are:
- BzN = Strong northward Bz for extended period
- BzS = Strong southward Bz for extended period
- EyC = Change in Ey=VxBz
- HSS = Very high speed stream for extended period
- IMC = Interplanetary magnetic cloud
- IR = Interaction Region
- IS = Interplanetary shock
- LSS = Very low speed stream for extended period
- MISC = Miscelaneous, which may include a very broad range of features
- PC = Pressure change
- SBC = Interplanetary sector boundary crossings (usually in a set)
Below we briefly discuss each of these, principally by making them more quantitative, including definitions, and providing references.
