Notes.

^(a)

This value corresponds to the magnetopause standoff distance (i.e. magnetopause day-side separation).

^(b)

Maximum value of the total pressure (P_T = P_gas + P_dyn + P_mag) at the bow-shock location.

^(c)

Average particle density at a spherical surface with R = 2R_p.

^(†)

Cartesian components of the vector quantities are provided.
