Northern and southern cusp locations and extensions for each scenario.

Notes. The case of perihelion fast solar wind (PFSW) has been separated as it does not feature two distinguishable cusp regions (see Fig. 2), but one global region. The values indicate the approximate planetary coordinates of their centres and of their extensions. As the southern cusps remarkably show a shape similar to a parallelogram, we added its average longitudinal width in parentheses.
