OMNI in situ measurements and geomagnetic indices for each rotation (x-axis shows time in UT). From top to bottom: magnetic field and vector components, density+temperature, plasma-β+speed, Dst+Hp30. Shown are a high plasma-β structure heliospheric plasma sheet (HB), high-density (HD) structures, the shocks (SH; dashed vertical lines) from various CMEs, the sector boundary crossing (SBC; dotted red vertical line), magnetic ejecta (ME) related to the different CMEs, and the start of the SIR/HSS (gray shaded area marks the interaction zone between the rear-part of the CME and the starting of the SIR). The red arrows indicate the observed ripples (short-term variations in the total magnetic field associated with strong fluctuations in the temperature and density profiles). A zoomed-in image for the regions around the SBC is shown in Fig. A.7.
