Caption: Figure 3.
The same as Figure 2, but for PADs and anisotropy coefficients A1,N and A2,N in the shock-normal frame at the 1 minute resolution near-shock encounter. The shock normal ﹩\hat{N}﹩ is taken as fixed and pointing from downstream into upstream (antisunward in this event), so μN = + 1 always corresponds to particles moving antisunward, and A1,N > 0 denotes antisunward streaming. This is motion away from the shock when PSP is upstream, and motion across the shock into the upstream when PSP is downstream.
