Solar wind upstream magnetic field values (IMF) are given only as a first approximation for each orbit segment. See point 2 for caveats. For carefully manually picked shock crossings, the user is referred to the database of:<br> <strong>Persson et al. (2023)</strong>, Venusian bow shock crossings manually identified from measurements by the ASPERA-4 and MAG instruments onboard Venus Express, <em>Zenodo</em> (<a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7679677">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7679677</a>)</li> <li>This database is based on an automatic statistical&nbsp;geometrical estimate, further refined by constraints on magnetic&nbsp;fields. This is aimed at giving a first approximation of the shock area times in the Venus Express data. It is particularly suited to&nbsp;statistical studies and region identification in the Venus Express datasets. As such, this database should be used as a <em>first&nbsp;indicator</em> of the shock location, and <em>with</em> <em>caution</em>: it <strong>CANNOT</strong>, and <strong>WILL NOT&nbsp;</strong>substitute, especially in case studies, for a careful analysis&nbsp;of the full magnetometer and plasma bow shock signatures.&nbsp;Moreover, the algorithm is optimised for detecting the first disturbance observed in&nbsp;the magnetic field immediately ahead of the shock&#39;s foot (in the foreshock area), and not for the detection of&nbsp;other structures in the shock, such as the shock ramp. The&nbsp;&quot;shock&quot;&nbsp;location is therefore given here with typical uncertainties of about 0.040 R<sub>V</sub> (with R<sub>V</sub> = 6051.8 km, i.e., about 250 km in the radial direction). Finally, for multiple shock crossings, the algorithm chooses the first occurrence of the shock starting from the undisturbed&nbsp;solar wind.</li> </ol> <p>Current formatting optimised for MATLAB.</p> <p><strong>ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS</strong><br> C.

Venusian bow shock crossings manually identified from measurements by the ASPERA-4 and MAG instruments onboard Venus Express

<p>Bow shock crossings at Venus identified manually from the ASPERA-4 and MAG instruments onboard Venus Express for the full mission from 2006 to 2014.</p> <p>A detailed description of the dataset can be found in the paper &quot;Influence of solar wind variations on the shapes of Venus&rsquo; plasma boundaries based on Venus Express observations&quot; by Signoles et al.</p> <p>The boundary crossings by Venus Express are determined from combining the measurements of both ion, electron and magnetic field measurements. The bow shock is identified from the sharp increase in the magnetic field magnitude, and the increase in electron and ion temperature. The ion composition boundary is identified from the decrease in magnetosheath protons and electrons, and the appearance of planetary heavy ions.</p> <p>The dataset contains 5193 identified bow shock crossings and 2679 identified ion composition boundary crossings.</p> <p>For more information on the dataset contact: M.
