Total number 209 193 23 50 475 (100%)
Background 16 61 4 9 90 (19%)
No increase 174 126 15 40 355 (75%)
Contamination 14 5 2 1 22 (5%)
Solar event 1 1 1 0 3 (1%)
Shock event 4 0 1 0 5 (1%)

Notes. From top to bottom, the numbers represent all shock crossings, no increase above quiet-time background, no increase above a 4h pre-event background, an increase that is due to ion contamination, an increase due to a solar event, and a real shock-associated increase.
