The θBn problem: Determination of local magnetic parameters of interplanetary shocks from in situ IMF data
The angle θBn is the angle between the upstream magnetic field and the shock normal direction and is important for many phenomena in interplanetary physics. We show that for most shock observations, θBn cannot be determined without addressing its associated uncertainty. We propose a simple computati...
