Summary & Discussion  Generated magnetosheath jet database using MMS .  Database includes several measured and calculated properties per jet.  Classified jets based on indirect information of the angle of the ’s normal vector and IMF (ΘBn)  Solar wind measurement from OMNIweb have been associated per jet and were included.  Database can be used for investigating phenomena (enhancements of radiation belts, development, magnetopause etc.) .

The plasma properties and the associated fields on each class and on the surrounding magnetosheath exhibit *See Poster 13.p12 for an application of the presented dataset on a predictive classification using Neural very different properties.
