Notes. Mean values together with their minimum and maximum range 
are given for two distance ranges r1|r2 with r1 < 0.7 au and r2 > 0.7 au. Parameters for the different structures given are, proton particle density (Np), plasma-beta (β), temperature (Tp), total magnetic field strength (B), proton bulk speed (v), and duration (tdur). See also Fig. 7, roughly depicting the average values given here.
