Brightness flux assumes a 10% helium abundance. CASS/UCSD ILWS 2009 SMEI 3D reconstructions of density behind shocks The 3D SMEI analyses now show the extent of density enhancements behind shocks using these extremely- well calibrated brightness observations. The shock sheaths observed in the SMEI data are highly variable in latitudinal and longitudinal extent. In SMEI, the shock density enhancements analyzed to date do not show a uniform shell-like extent. Attempts to compare the density enhancements behind shocks from brightness and in situ measurements show not only the differences in the these two types of analyses, but also the great differences in the different instruments that measure proton density in situ.
