ACE Shock Catalog
Based on the 64-second merged IMF and Solar Wind data of ACE satellite, an auto-search computer
program was applied to find the potential interplanetary shocks (IP shocks) and shock-like solar wind
structures. Each event was further inspected visually. Rankine- Hugoniot relationship was also tested to
rule out the sharp interplanetary discontinuities. The shock parameters are all calculated by using the
shock fitting procedure proposed by Lin et al. [2006].
The shock list is an appendix of the JGR paper by Wang et al. [2010, 2009JA014833].
For more information and extensive use of the survey, please contact Dr. Hui Li (hli@nssc.ac.cn).

Solar Wind Categorization
Based on the reference solar wind used by Xu and Borovsky [2015], an approach from machine learning perspectives is developed to automatically classify the solar wind at 1 AU into four types: coronal-hole-origin, streamer belt-origin, sector-reversal-region-origin, and ejecta. An eight dimensional scheme by KNN classifier obtains the highest overall classification accuracy, 92.8%. No solar wind composition measurements are needed, permitting our classification scheme to be applied to most solar wind spacecraft data. Besides, two application examples indicate that solar wind classification is helpful
for the risk evaluation of predicted magnetic storms and surface charging of geosynchronous spacecrafts.
The solar wind categorization list is from the work by Li et al. [2020, Earth Space Sci., doi:10.1029/2019EA000997].
