Overview of a quasi-perpendicular fast-forward Interplanetary shock observed by PSP on 2024 March 12. (a) Magnetic field strength and components. (b) Proton velocity and radial component. (c) Angle between magnetic field and proton velocity. (d) Proton density. (e) Proton temperature. (f) Bernoulli integral. (g) Amplitude of magnetic field fluctuations in Alfvén units and amplitude of velocity fluctuation. (h) Amplitude of Elsässer variables. (i) Normalized cross-helicity and normalized residual energy. (g) Normalized density fluctuation.
