Fig. 5From: The spectral scalings of magnetic fluctuations upstream and downstream of the Venusian bow shockHistograms of a–d the transverse and compressional ratio and e–h the ellipticity of fluctuations for the upstream and the downstream intervals of the \(Q_{\parallel }\) (red) and \(Q_{ \bot }\) (blue) bow shock crossings. The upper panels show the histograms for the MHD regime, and the lower panels show the histograms for the kinetic regimeBack to article page
