Notes. For each group, the columns show how many shock crossings were accompanied by quiet-time background, an enhanced pre-event background (but no shock-associated increase), and a shock-associated increase. For electrons it also lists how many shock crossings were accompanied by ion contamination, which makes the shock-spike identification unreliable. The bottom part summarizes the numbers for the two STEREO spacecraft together and presents the averaged Mach number M and the average shock-normal angle θBn of all associated shocks.
