Description

This catalog has spacecraft-specific lists of
interplanetary shocks measured by STEREO-a and STEREO-B between
January 2007 and March 2009. For each of the 49 STEREO-A shocks
and 46 STEREO-B shocks, the following information is given:
time, the ratio of downstream to upstream magnetic field intensity,
shock normal angle, plasma beta, magnetosonic Mach number, a Y/N flag,
for STEREO 32 Hz magnetic field data availability, a comment field
mainly used to indicate forward vs. reverse shocks. It is expected
that this list, given in both PDF and Excel formats, will be updated
periodically.
