Abstract
- International audience; We have investigated the dependence of mass, energy, and charge of solar wind (SW) transport across Earth?s bow shock. An examination of 111 crossings during quiet SW in both quasi-perpendicular and quasi-parallel shock regions shows that 64 crossings had various degrees of heating and thermalization of SW. We found 22 crossings where the SW speed was
