Description

Switchback (SB), spike, or jet is defined as a structure in which the solar wind plasma flow changes direction with respect to the background solar wind. It is observed by the spacecraft as a magnetic field rotation, persisting for a brief period of time. This database contains the list of 1,074 visaully selected events from Parker Solar Probe Encounters 1 and 2.
