Notes. Column 1 provides the names of the parameters; Col. 2 provides the average values for shocks used for comparison with the ones presenting a response in electrons; Col. 3 provides the average values for shocks used for comparison with the shocks showing a response in protons; Col. 4 provides the average values for shocks with a response in electrons; and Col. 5 provides the average values with a response in protons. Average, median, and standard error values, and number of shocks used for averaging are listed through the slashes. Not all parameters were available for all IP shocks.
