Unstable Ion Composition Boundary Layer Crossings

Description

A list of unstable ion composition boundary layer crossings by the MAVEN spacecraft, separated into three categories. "Snowplow" events have discrete parcels of low energy escaping heavy ion plasma interspersed with more energetic magnetosheath plasma. "Plume" events have higher energy escaping heavy ions with a beam-like distribution, interspersed with magnetosheath plasma. "Unclassified" events do not neatly fit in either of these categories.   

Notes

Funded by the MAVEN contract through NASA.
