Meridional cuts through the Oz-V2 plane from a 3D MHD simulation showing the log of the solar wind number density (cm^-3), the velocity (km s^-1), the log of the temperature (K), and the magnetic field magnitude (nT) at t = 1 yr after the reverse shock crossed the TS. FS′ denotes the forward shock propagating into the heliosheath; TD₁ and TD₂ are tangential discontinuities; TS is the termination shock; R denotes a rarefaction wave formed after the interaction of the TS and the reverse shock.
