Shock Types

Simplified expected behavior across some structures in the solar wind:

	Vsw	Np	Vth	B

fast FWD shock	increases	increases	increases	increases
fast REV shock	increases	decreases	decreases	decreases

slow FWD shock	increases	increases	increases	decreases
slow REV shock	increases	decreases	decreases	increases

classical CME TD/CD	steady	decreases	decreases	increases

classical high-speed stream	increases	decreases	increases	decreases
