- We investigate and evaluate the possibility of using local magnetosheath measurements to classify the plasma according to upstream conditions. In order to do this, we use simultaneous measurements from the Cluster spacecraft from time intervals when one of them is located in the solar wind, and the other in the magnetosheath. In particular, we study the classification of the magnetosheath plasma into the classes quasi-parallel versus quasi-perpendicular and foreshock/no foreshock (referring to the geometry of the upstream bow shock). We evaluate this method based on the magnetosheath measurements of the high-energy ion energy flux, magnetic field standard deviation, and ion temperature anisotropy. We find that the method is promising and useful, in that it eliminates the uncertainties associated with propagating upstream measurements made far from the bow shock. Finally, we discuss some possible extensions of the methodology to be investigated in the future.
