Scientific paper

Magnetic field and plasma moments obtained from thousands of spacecraft passes through the magnetosheath are assimilated to build synoptic maps of characteristic plasma parameters, including the Alfven speed and Mach number. The observations are also matched to convected solar wind observations, to determine how variations in the solar wind conditions change the macroscopic behavior of the magnetosheath. In addition, comparisons are made with theoretical expectations for magnetohydrodynamic jump conditions across the bow shock. Lastly, the statistical magnetosheath parameters provide insight as to where steady and unsteady reconnection can occur at the magnetopause.
