For upstream temperature ratios ﹩{T}_{{\rm{e}}}/{T}_{{\rm{i}}}=0.1﹩ (blue), 0.3 (green), and 1 (red), we present the ﹩{\beta }_{{\rm{i}}}﹩ dependence of various upstream (dashed) and downstream (solid) quantities: (a) electron dimensionless temperature, ﹩{\theta }_{{\rm{e}}};﹩ (b) proton dimensionless temperature, ﹩{\theta }_{{\rm{i}}};﹩ (c) proton-to-electron skin depth ratio, ﹩(c/{\omega }_{\mathrm{pi}})/(c/{\omega }_{\mathrm{pe}}).﹩ The simulations shown here use a mass ratio ﹩{m}_{{\rm{i}}}/{m}_{{\rm{e}}}=25﹩ and magnetization ﹩{\sigma }_{w}=0.1﹩.
