Variations of the general shape of ICMEs/IP shocks from in situ observations.
Abstract
In situ observations of interplanetary (IP) coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and IP shocks are important to study these transient structures. However, since space missions only provide a single-view point of these large scale phenomena, it results difficult to obtain the global shape of ICME/shocks when these travel in the inner heliosphere. In this study, we show a quantitative analysis to describe the global shape of ICME/shocks by using in situ data of a large sample of events observed by WIND, MESSENGER and STEREO-A/B space missions, during the period 2011-2014, at different locations and heliocentric distances.
