Scientific paper
In this paper we propose a statistical survey of the characteristics of the different Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) orientations classified as "Parker" and "non-Parker" (or "ortho-Parker"). In this aim, we make use of the OMNI dataset. For the different phases of the solar cycle, we show specifically that the average magnetic field amplitude and solar wind temperature depend on the field orientation. This is a direct consequence of the nature of the transient events at the origin of ortho-Parker events and which differentiates them from Parker ones. We further analyse the response of the Earth's magnetosheath to these varying upstream conditions and illustrate this effect by studying the occurrence rate of mirror mode events observed by Cluster during about 10 years.
