abstract = "Mercury has a magnetosphere and as a consequence of the
interaction with the supermagnetosonic solar wind, a bow shock is
formed upstream of the planet. The shocked, heated, and
decelerated solar wind particles populate the magnetosheath region
between the planetary bow shock and magnetopause. Here we use
theMariner-10 spacecraft highest resolution magnetic field data
(25 vectors/s) during both M-I (29 March 1974) and M-III (16 March
1975) Mercury encounters to study the magnetosheath fluctuations.
Wavelet techniques are employed to identify the main
scales/frequencies of magnetic field fluctuations and their
evolution in time (non-stationarity). Wavelet spectra during
magnetosheath crossings with quasi-perpendicular and
quasi-parallel bow shocks are also comparatively analyzed. We have
found that magnetic field fluctuations are strongly
non-stationary, with frequencies around 5-10 s, 20-40 s and 2-5
minutes.",
