Fig. 6

Displayed in a similar format to Fig. 1. From top to bottom the first set of panels show perturbations in the magnetic (a, b), ion velocity (c, d) and electric (e, f) fields. In these vertical pairs, top panels show the raw data, whereas the bottom panels show the filtered data. Subsequent panels depict the Poynting vector (g) and energy density (h), showing instantaneous (thin) and time-averaged (thick) values. Finally, the energy velocity (i) is shown compared to the absolute magnetosheath flow speed (grey). Note the bi-symmetric log scale on panels a, c, e.
