This paper studies the effects of the
solar wind on Jupiter’s magnetosphere. The solar wind parameters are
characterized using the Michigan Solar Wind Model (mSWiM) solar wind data
propagated to Jupiter from 1997 to 2016. This analysis covers almost solar
cycles 23 and 24. Interplanetary fast shocks: Forward shocks (FS), Reverse
shocks (RS), and solar wind dynamic pressure were obtained and analyzed during
the apparent opposition periods. The fast forward (FS) shocks were predominant
during this period. Generally, the solar wind dynamic pressure from FS and RS
shocks follows the solar cycles 23 and 24.
