  1. Observed near the magnetic nulls within the magnetic reconnection diffusion region on 10 September 2001.
  2. Group 1: Data corresponding to the ESWs observed during 07:56:30 to 07:57:30 UT (close to the nulls); Group 2: Data corresponding to the ESWs observed during 07:50 to 08:00 UT (the entire diffusion region crossing).
