Magnetosheath jets are transient, localized dynamic pressure enhancements found downstream of the Earth's bow shock in the magnetosheath region. Using a pre-existing database of magnetosheath jets we train a neural network to distinguish between jets found downstream of a quasi-parallel bow shock ((Formula presented.)) and jets downstream of a quasi-perpendicular bow shock ((Formula presented.)). The initial database was compiled using MMS measurements in the magnetosheath (downstream) to identify and classify them as “quasi-parallel” or “quasi-perpendicular,” while the neural network uses only solar wind (upstream) measurements from the OMNIweb database. To evaluate the results, a comparison with three physics-based modeling approaches is done. It is shown that neural networks are systematically outperforming the other methods by achieving a ~93% agreement with the initial dataset, while the rest of the methods achieve around 80%. The better performance of the neural networks likely is due to the fact that they use information from more solar wind quantities than the physics-based models. As a result, even in the absence of certain upstream properties, such as the IMF direction, they are capable of accurately determining the jet class.
