a The physical quantities studied are: the diameter of the flux rope d, the size, S (estimated along the spacecraft trajectory), the central field strength $B_{\rm c} $ (estimated from a fitted magnetic model to the data for MCs), and the average field strength, $\bar{B}$, along the spacecraft trajectory. b The range of solar distance, D, is in AU. c The data are fitted with a power law $c (D/ D_{\rm o} )^e$ with $ D_{\rm o} =1~\rm AU$. c is in AU for the diameter/size and in nT for the magnetic field strength. e is dimensionless. d The results are from: 1: Chen (1996), 2: Kumar & Rust (1996), 3: Bothmer & Schwenn (1998), 4: Leitner et al. (2007), 5: Liu et al. (2006), 6: Wang et al. (2005), 7: present work. The comparison of consecutive lines with the same reference indicate the variation of the results (c,e) with the range of D selected or the difference between a model and observations.
