The shock list has been prepared by Xiaoyan Zhou and Edward Smith using high resolution magnetic field data and plasma data (V,n,T) provided by Bruce Goldstein in the CDF plots. The shock events are preliminary results. There is some uncertainty for the events with a question mark. The list will be extended to include further study results and more recent months, identified as part of the JDE interval, as the data become available. Please contact us if you have any question.
