Figure 8. Proton temperature profiles along the Sun-Earth
line. The black crosses indicate observed values of
T ; the
blank circles indicate
T
. The isotropic model has been
used upstream of
the bow shock and one of the anisotropic models has been
used downstream. In (a), the dashed curves indicate the model I
with
t = 300 s, the solid curves indicate model I with
t = 1000 s. In figure (b), the dashed curves represent model II
with
t = 50 s, the solid curves are model II with
t = 300 s. The graphs are normalized by the solar wind temperature.
